Hey Ho, Glasgow

Stuart Bailie|13:32 UK time, Friday, 25 July 2008

Tonight will be a live broadcast from the Cellar Bar, Draperstown. It's become an annual fixture - a rock and roll party on the eve of the Glasgowbury Festival, anticipating the tunes and the shenanigans that will enliven the Sperrin mountains. The Friday night venue is famously lively, and this year the live turns will include Stu faves The Panama Kings and Rachel Austin.

This year the headliners Ash will haul another thousand or more towards Eagle's Rock. I'm also looking forward to a Friday night performance from Grainne Duffy, who plays the blues and wails with much style. She's from Monaghan, but spiritually she's doused in the Mississippi and schooled by BB King, Bonnie Raitt and Little Feat. Tune in at 10pm, y'all.
