2016 - I Was There - The Story of the Glasgow Apollo

Loud n Proud one of Scotland’s most successful youth music charities are back with the 2016 version of the Rock Musical ‘I Was There’ which is the tale of The Glasgow Apollo.

It’s over 30 years since The Glasgow Apollo closed its doors. Since then the legend of “The Greatest Rock Venue in the World” is still revered by the bands that played at it and more importantly a generation of rockers who grew up with it.

The stories have been handed down over the years and have been kept alive with yarns about, the bouncers, the giants of rock who played there and the amazing atmosphere generated by the “Glasgow Choir”
The energetic, funny and true to life show chronicles the passion that people had and still have for the Apollo theatre and describes the heartbreak of what it’s like to lose a big piece of your youth and your culture when it closed its doors in 1985.

“I Was There’ transports you back in time and gives you a fast paced show with a cast of over 100 dancers, actors and singers. The music stretches from 1967 to 1985. 18 years of powerful music that influenced many of the bands of today. From Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, to The Jacksons, Johnny Cash and David Bowie.

“What a show, I was knocked out” – Tom Russell Rock Radio

“I felt I was back at the old Apollo. How could it get better than that” – Andy Muir, Webmaster of  www.glasgowapollo.com

£17.05 - £22.70
