I Was There ROCKS the SECC Armadillo AGAIN in AUG 2010
The tale of The Glasgow Apollo is back with New Songs, New Stories and a New Stage Production. It’s Bigger, Better and Louder. for more information and tickets here I had a blast the three times I saw the show, it was fantasic.
It’s 25 years since The Glasgow Apollo closed its doors. Since then the legend of “The Greatest Rock Venue in the World” is still venerated by the bands that played at it and more importantly a generation of rockers who grew up with it.
The stories have been handed down over the years and have been kept alive with yarns about, the bouncers, the giants of rock who played there and the amazing atmosphere generated by the “Glasgow Choir”
Unlike the flood of modern day musicals theshow tells the story of not only one band or artist – it tells the story of the best rock bands ever to take to the stage, it features the greatest rock songs ever played and the central character is not a singer or a guitarist – it is the famous Glasgow Apollo, the greatest rock venue in the world.
It chronicles the passion that people had and still have for the Apollo theatre and describes the heartbreak of what it’s like to lose a big piece of your youth and your culture when it closed its doors in 1985.
This will be the an opportunity for all the Apollo Faithful recognised by bands from all over the globe as the "Glasgow Choir" will have had the chance to get together for 25 years.
 It’s a fantastic occasion for them to prove they are still the noisiest and craziest audience ever.
There are two types of music lovers – the ones who went there and the ones who wished they did. This is a great show for every generation to come to and experience a little of what it was like "I Was There" transports you back in time and gives you a fast paced show with a cast of over 100 dancers, actors and singers.
The music stretches from 1967 to 1985. 18 years of powerful music that influenced many of the bands of today. From Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, to Kiss, Aerosmith, David Bowie, The Who, Led Zeppelin and Free.
Commemorate the 25th anniversary of the closing down of a venue that was part of Rock n Roll history. It’s the Classic Rock Event of the Year.
