    Lost my Mam last year. She was born in a tenement in Scotstoun, and did most of her growing up in Drumchaple. This song gave me comfort at a shitty time

    I come back to this video every time I think of my home city, and it brings back everything from the Merchant Chippie to my parents' house, which is all my early life in fact. That's what Mother Glasgow is, really: The Glasgow that lives within us. Billy or Tim, her succour is perpetual.

    I was born & bred in Glasgow. Went to Garnetbank School.
    Many decades later, living & working here & abroad, this song swells my heart. I do remember the starling in thexWest End.
    I love & miss you all
    Love to you all,

    For a while in the early 90s I was in a piano vocalist duo and I was slightly obsessed by Hue and Cry . The other main benefit of this was through this song I discovered the wonderful music,comedy and performance of Michael Marra , he got very little attention down here in England

      Glasgow is a beautiful city , very cultured city,but it lets itself down every July,it allows this bigoted parade to go on , which would be totally barred in England,so for all this Glasgow welcome pish ,that's good as long as your not Catholic,can you imagine a band parading l.past a mosque and being allowed to shout down Allah,no it would not be allowed,but in bonnie Scotland you are still allowed to parade up and down against catholics, Scotland my arse.
