“…navigate the city’s gum-addled streets on a culture-quenching mission.”

That’s the Pop Cop, describing Glasgow Music Tour as only he can. His succinct review (there’s more to it!) pops up as we sift through our cuttings. With thousands of Celtic Connections fans about to invade the city, we need some shiny new flyers and it’s really time to add some of the very nice reviews we have gathered during our first year.

Feeling romantic: Aidan Moffat on Glasgow Music Tour with Jim Gellatly and Ali Howard

Some Trip Advisor comments might do the trick. We love this one:

“Take these tours and you will see parts of the city that you won’t see on other tourist routes and I think you see and hear the Glasgow that the locals know”.  Kevin.

And:

“This fantastic app lives up to its promise to ‘take you off the beaten track to the musical heart and soul of the city’.” About a City.

Or from old media :

“Even seasoned gig-goers who think they’ve seen it all before, however, will find their eyes opened by the new Walking Heads music tour of Glasgow.” Dave Pollock in The Scotsman.

Won’t go on…though must just mention Aidan Moffat’s lovely comment after doing the tour with our guide Jim Gellatly and Ali Howard of The Herald on a very dreich day in Glasgow (a few months before he won the inaugural Scottish Album of the Year Award with Bill Wells) :

“It’s made me realise what makes Glasgow the place I want to be…full of great venues and so many good places to go. It’s made me feel quite romantic.”

And to put the Pop Cop in context, Glasgow Music Tour featured in his review of three innovations which could “shape the way music is commercialised for tourism, heard at gigs and purchased” (see also Silentgig and Inklink t shirts).  If you can take just a little more about us:

“The 4½ hour audio walking tour, which is split into 60 chapters, is presented by Jim Gellatly and features interviews with the likes of Vic Galloway, Billy Sloan, Stuart Braithwaite and Emma Pollock to keep you entertained and informed as you navigate the city’s gum-addled streets on a culture-quenching mission.”

So, how to find an image that represents that lot…any suggestions?  Maybe you’ve got just the thing?
