Glasgow prepares to host MOBO awards - Lindsay Johns, London Evening Standard (16 September)Forget Trainspotting, the Gorbals, the tedious “See you, Jimmy” jokes. Glasgow is an intoxicating place to be right now. Within minutes of stepping off the train at Glasgow Central, and walking down Argyle Street and into St Enoch Square, I find strangers being among the most helpful and welcoming I have ever met.Glasgow has a rich musical heritage, be it classical, Celtic, rock or hip hop. It is now an official Unesco City of Music — Glaswegians spend more on live music per capita than any other UK city. It makes sense for it to be hosting the MOBO awards this month for the first time. Eminem, Fifty Cent, Kanye West and The Game have played here and tonight Jay-Z supports Coldplay at Hampden Park. Even Dizzee Rascal will soon be regaling Glaswegians with his Cockney rap
