Glasgow in the noughties: 8 famous bands that played at Barfly during the 2000s

Here are some of the major bands who performed live at Barfly in Glasgow

Barfly was one of Glasgow's best loved music venues which surprisingly closed its doors in the city in February 2009 after first opening back in May 2002.

The venue on Clyde Street played host to many up and coming artists of the era with the likes of Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Glasgow's very own The Fratellis appearing at the venue.

Some other famous faces also performed at the venue such as Take That's Mark Owen doing solo gigs and Lord of the Rings actor Billy Boyd along with his band Beecake.

Although the building is still standing on Glasgow's waterfront, the space is now being used for student accommodation.
