16 Years: Gigs In Scotland 1974-1990 is a new book pulled together by Chris Brickley covering the live music scene in Scotland during the period 1974 through to 1990.
The book runs to over 550 pages and includes 2,000 photographs spanning a 16 year period, covering 120 venues, 32 towns/cities from Dumfries to Skye and over 500 different bands and artists. Make no mistake, this is a serious player from a music perspective but also as a historic look back on a diverse and important time in Scotland’s cultural past.
There is a great mix of professional photography but importantly, many contributions from fans who attended these gigs taking photos on small cameras, way before i-phones become de rigueur. The venues covered range from small bars and community halls through to more familiar and established venues such as Edinburgh Playhouse and Glasgow Barrowland. The bands involved cover a wide musical range from prog to punk, garage to goth, psychobilly to postcard pop and a multitude of other genres, as well as a foreword penned by Ian Rankin.
