Glasgow Americana
THE full line-up for the second and extended Glasgow Americana Festival has been announced by promoters, the Fallen Angels Club.
The first of eight gigs - compared with only three last year - at eight different venues will get under way on Saturday, May 24, finishing a week later (May 31) with the irreverent Kinky Friedman playing the Tron Theatre.
His show is already sold out so a matinee show has just been announced.
Kim Richey, Jason Ringenberg and Crooked Still will be joining fellow American Friedman on the Festival programme plus Canadians, The Wailin' Jennys who will be supported by Bob Harris favourite, Rachel Harrington.
And Glasgow's own Stevie Jackson is slipping out quietly from Belle and Sebastian's ranks for a rare treat solo set while rising Scots star, Yvonne Lyon will appear on the opening night, along side Mia Riddle who is also a huge favourite of Bob Harris.
