The Blue Nile: Glasgow outlawed guitars

Hearing The Blue Nile on the radio recently reminds me of the excellent Allan Brown biography of the band, Nileism.

Facts about 1970's/80's Glasgow I learned from this book:

- Rock music performances were banned by the city council. It happened in 1956 and ran until 1976, was made possible by centralised ownership of venues, and was in response to concerns about bands corrupting the city's youth. We know how this ends.
