Our first event took place Friday 7th March at The Western Club, Glasgow’s 200 year old “Inclusively Exclusive” Private members Club in Royal Exchange Square.
The evening started with a presentation about the contemporary tweed clothing designs of Walker Slater
Loud & Clear, established 1996 and still Scotland’s finest independent HiFi and home cinema retailer; representing the best brands from across the world, many of which from no further than our fair shores.
Our wee “trial” for the evening; can a record player sound as good as a digital stream? It’s the “analogue vs digital” debate, live in the Western Club! We’ll play an iconic track from a famous, local artist on both formats and invite our audience to be the judge, jury and executioner. The track will be played on some equally native equipment – a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and Linn Selekt DSM digital streamer, through beautiful Fyne Audio 702SP loudspeakers – all hailing from Glasgow.
Once the verdict has been reached we’ll be on hand to take questions and thoughts on all things musical, whilst keeping the system running to provide a tuneful backdrop to the remainder of the evening.
The Glasgow Distillery Co are also joined the party and supplied the fantastic Makar Gin which we matched with Barrs new pink grapefruit and blood orange Rubicon to create the Western 200 cocktail. for those not drinking we had a fine stock of Barrs classic 1901 Irn Bru and Glasgow’s best treats from Tunnocks
A great first Best of Glasgow event enjoyed by everyone. Watch out for our next event.
