This is Glasgows centre of live Traditional Folk music, World Music, Jazz,
Jug, Country and Bluegrass - in the heart of old Glasgow,and part of the Merchant

Lauries has been the originator and the mainstay of the Celtic Connections fringe, a strong supporter of Folk Festivals and Traditional Music. Have a look at The Ballad Workshop ! Lauries is also the new home of the former Riverside Club Ceilidh, still run by Mary Laurie. The Riverside Club was the real star of Ceilidhs in it's day - it is now eclipsed - LAURIE'S has it all!!
