The Glasgow that I used to Know: A Celebration of the Songs of Adam McNaughtan

Bring your singing voices for an afternoon celebrating the work of Adam McNaughtan, one of Scotland’s most beloved songwriters and Scots rhymers.

Known for his sharp wit and insightful songwriting, Adam gifted us classics like The Jeely Piece Song, The Glasgow That I Used to Know, and Yellow on the Broom, along with his humorous song adaptations of Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet.

Host Siobhan Miller will lead a stellar line-up, including Scott Gardiner, Brian Miller, and special guests, bringing Adam’s legacy to life. This is a special opportunity to hear his songs performed by artists across generations who have been inspired by his work.

A master storyteller and cultural historian, Adam’s songs capture the essence of Scottish life. A schoolteacher by trade and a passionate scholar of Scottish folk traditions, he has played a vital role in preserving children’s songs, broadside ballads, and music hall gems. His deep love for Scottish history and culture is woven through every song. 

Join us to rediscover cherished classics and unearth hidden gems from one of Scotland’s greatest songwriters.
