Legendary crooner Tony Christie brings his timeless pop hits to Glasgow in an intimate 'Up Close & Unplugged' acoustic session.
Tony Christie is back in Glasgow on Tuesday 1 December, playing Saint Luke's in the East End. He's billed as a legendary crooner, and the night is built around his pop hits, the ones that have kept him in the public eye for decades. It's a return to the city for him, and this time it's coming in a specific format: Up Close & Unplugged.
That title tells you exactly what to expect. Rather than a full band and a big production, this is the stripped-back version of the show. The Up Close part puts the focus on Christie himself, and Unplugged means the acoustic side of things takes centre stage. It's a different way of hearing the songs you already know, with the arrangements pulled back so the voice does the heavy lifting. If you're used to the bigger, more polished versions of his hits, this is the one that lets you hear them a bit more plainly.
The night is presented by Renegade Communications, and the venue is Saint Luke's (also known as Saint Luke's and the Winged Ox), the converted church on Cathedral Street. It's a space that suits this kind of thing — the acoustic, stripped-down approach fits the room better than a loud, electric set would. The whole evening is built around Christie's pop hits, so you'll recognise the songs, even if they sound a bit different here than they do on record.

One practical thing to keep in mind: the venue applies an 18+ age restriction to the night, so it's an adults-only crowd. That's worth noting if you're planning on bringing anyone younger along. With that sorted, you've got the basics: Tony Christie at Saint Luke's on Tuesday 1 December, performing his pop hits in an Up Close & Unplugged format.
