Glasgow Americana

The Fallen Angels Club brings us the tenth Glasgow Americana festival this year. The festival was established in 2007 to fill the gap left behind after the sudden death of Billy Kelly, who ran the Big Big Country Festival in Glasgow for many years.

Ten years on and the festival has pretty much hosted everybody who is anybody within the Americana genre – Mary Gauthier, Steve Forbert, Kinky Friedman, Alejandro Escovedo, Tom Russell, Bruce Cockburn, Sam Baker, The Handsome Family, The Wailin’ Jennys plus loads more have passed through its doors.

This year Roddy Hart, Boo Hewerdine and Ben Glover, AKA The Scotsman, The Englishman and The Irishman will play CCA on 8 October while The Stray Birds & Otis Gibbs will play a matinee on 9 October.
