A digitisation and oral history project documenting the celebrated Glasgow club night
“It’s easy for people to laugh about the passion you might feel for certain songs, and certain situations. Everyone’s sarcastic these days. But at the core of that passion is something beautiful and precious. And when the start of a song makes you feel as if you’re about to kiss the most beautiful person in the world, you can’t argue with it.
Only sometimes you don’t feel it until the song is loud enough to rattle your ribs. So we’ll supply the volume.”
