Ivory Blacks

Ivory Blacks, a sadly now-closed Glasgow institution, was a beloved live music venue known for its intimate setting and eclectic programming. Housed in a building with characterful architecture, it boasted a surprisingly powerful sound system for its size, making it ideal for showcasing a diverse range of music events, from punk and indie rock to folk and experimental sounds. Its unique charm lay in its dedication to fostering a close-knit community around live music, attracting both local heroes and touring international acts. While no longer operating, its legacy in the Glasgow and wider Scottish music scene remains strong, remembered for its vibrant atmosphere and commitment to showcasing diverse musical talent.
