The Barrowland Ballroom is one of Glasgow's most iconic music venues, having hosted incredible acts such as David Bowie and Metallica, as well as acting as a starting platform for local acts such as Biffy Clyro and Primal Scream (history of the Barrowlands: http://www.glasgowmusic.co.uk/ReadVenue-21). Originally a dance hall in the 1950's, the Barrowlands have become a symbol of musical evolution in Scotland. The Barrowland Ballrooms are only a five minute walk away from the flat and are well worth the visit, especially since tickets for their gigs tend to be very cheap!
