GUN (full band) :: At Barrowland Ballroom,
Glasgow. Glaswegian rockers GUN are back
with their brand new album, ‘The Calton
Songs’. The album that takes its name from
the area of Glasgow where the band grew up,
and where they still write their music. This
record is about celebrating the road that GUN
have taken to reach this point, these new
versions of great songs are cut through with
un-ironic nostalgia but this is a band with an
eye on the horizon for what’s to come, not
what’s over their shoulder in the past. To
celebrate the release of ‘The Calton Songs’
the band will tour a run of fully-fledged
electric shows throughout November and
December that will culminate in a massive
hometown party at the Barrowland Ballroom.
