On 30th November, the anniversary of the legendary 1991 Nirvana gig, Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues will tell the story of the QMU's musical legacy through a mixture of song, spoken word, and a live video essay made up of archive images and written testimonials sent in by the public. We're delighted to have Glasgow’s favourite glam rockers on board for our birthday party. It promises to be glamtastic in every department!
In Autumn 2016, David Archibald and Carl Lavery established the Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues. Their aim was to imagine a theatrical conceit for a series of performances in which they could approach pressing political and aesthetic issues. Since then they have written and performed seven live dialogues on a variety of topics and are currently editing a filmed dialogue on the French Situationist, Guy Debord. For each Dialogue a unique musical line-up is assembled, and thus far they have worked with members of The Dirt, Franz Ferdinand, The Hellfire Club, Life Model, Shot Balowski and the world’s only glam rock harpist, Sophie Askew.

We also wish to preserve these stories and images so that generations of future gig-goers may look back and enjoy them.
