My own city, Glasgow, is famous for it's
interest in music. After
World War two, the city was peppered with dance halls
and over the years it
has been rated highly amongst artists as THE place to
enjoy playing a gig. It is also rated as the most hostile
environment to play in, if you're not up to scratch. In
the mid sixties Glasgow had a population of one million,
about two thirds of that of the city of Detroit. There
was one subtle difference however. Detroit had over 60
Recording Studios and many hundreds of record labels; while
Glasgow had virtually nothing. What
an extraordinary place Detroit must have been!
