Glasgow Fringe Festival

17 January to 4 February 2007
The Glasgow Fringe Festival grew out of two successful open stage events of January 2004 and 2005, held in the Acoustic Music Centre in Laurie’s Bar, King Street, Glasgow. For 19 days in January 2006, the Glasgow Fringe Festival ran a series of musical events, providing music that was affordable to all income groups, while at the same time providing a platform for more Glasgow musicians, in order to promote the wealth of talent that exists in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
