The Vintage Explosion

The Vintage Explosion play the Barrowland Ballroom on Monday 28 December, a night of rock and roll, soul and rhythm and blues. It's a standing-room show, so you'll be on your feet for the whole thing.

The band describes the night as built around a vintage-inspired sound and high-energy musicianship, and the three styles they list — rock and roll, soul and rhythm and blues — are the three that define the era they're drawing from. It's the kind of set that doesn't stick to one corner of the room, moving from the shuffle of early R&B to the punch of soul and the drive of rock and roll.

Taking them to the Barrowland Ballroom puts them in one of Scotland's most famous venues, and the Gallowgate address is a well-known one in Glasgow. It's a standing-room show, so you'll be right in the thick of it rather than watching from a seat. The night starts at 7:00 PM, on the Monday between Christmas and New Year, when the city is usually in that strange, quiet lull before the New Year's Eve rush kicks in.

If you're after a night of rock and roll, soul and rhythm and blues, that's exactly what's on the bill. The Vintage Explosion at the Barrowland Ballroom, 244 Gallowgate, Glasgow, on Monday 28 December, starting at 7:00 PM.
