I was there' - The Story of The Glasgow Apollo
Near the Argyll Hotel Glasgow 0141 3373313
“I Was There” is a Rock Musical with difference. Throughout the course of the production, the audience is led on a magical journey telling the story of not only one band or artist – it tells the story of the best rock bands ever to take to the stage, it features the best rock songs ever and the central character is not a singer or a guitarist – it is the famous Glasgow Apollo, the best rock venue in the world.
‘I Was There’ transports you back in time and gives you a fast paced show stretching from 1973 to 1985. 12 years of powerful music that influenced many of the bands of today. From Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Rolling stones, Frank Zappa, to Blondie, The Clash, The Jam and many more.
It chronicles the passion that people had and still have for the Apollo theatre and describes the heartbreak of what it’s like to lose a big piece of your youth and your culture when it closed its doors in 1985. This will be the first time the "Glasgow Choir" have got together for over 23 years and they will be out to prove they are still the noisiest and craziest audience ever. Experience what the Glasgow Apollo meant to the thousands of people who went faithfully to the biggest auditorium of its kind in Europe.
The story is about music, the building and most of all the people who went there. Their personal experiences, stories, anecdotes and tales are woven into the script along with a set list of songs that will represent the best music to be played at The Apollo during that time.
