On Saturday 7th October, some friends and I put on a night to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Teenage Fanclub's Thirteen album. The idea was to play the album in full at Mono (where the band recently played for the launch of new album Nothing Lasts Forever) in a kind of 'in person' listening party style.
Over a months worth of rain fell on Saturday, resulting in trains being cancelled and the entire Scotrail network closing at 9pm. It wasn't a great night to be putting on a free event!
Still, Barry, Alan and I drove in and stuck to non-alcoholic beers and played records from 7.45-11.15pm and had a good chat.
Most of the crowd were in for the amazing vegan food that Mono offers up. None of us were surprised by the messages we were receiving from friends saying they were staying in due to the weather, or indeed, that they couldn't get to Glasgow.
Here is what we played - spot doctor Alan Clarke's handwriting! I've created a playlist of all the songs that are on Spotify. Everything apart from the Chuck Jackson, J Walter Neero and KiDD songs.
Dig in and enjoy over 3-hours of tunes played. I've left off Teenage Fanclub's Thirteen. That deserves to be played on its own.
