Going along to a gig for the first time is a special moment in your life that will likely live with you forever no matter how good or rotten the act is.
We put a call out to our readers to ask what was the first gig they went to in Glasgow, with hundreds of people getting in touch to tell us their memories.
From going along to legendary Glasgow venues such as the Glasgow Apollo and Barrowland Ballroom to seeing bands at the height of their fame, these are 20 bands and artists that Glaswegian’s can say they saw for the first time live in their home city.
