The Glad Cafe


The Glad Cafe is a not for profit music venue with a licensed cafe in the Shawlands area of southside Glasgow. It has something to offer people of any age or background in this diverse and vibrant community.

Our well equipped venue provides a welcome space for showcasing up and coming local musicians as well as internationally known acts. We feature indie, electronic, experimental, world and traditional musicians.The space is known for its great acoustic and programming which also includes film, drama, storytelling and philosophical talks.The exhibition space in the cafe also hosts a changing feast of visual delight, and this combined with the annual zine, the Glad Rag, adds to our on-going representation of southside creativity!Our Glad Rags Thrift Shop provides funds to support our charity, the Glad Foundation (SCIO), which provides free and affordable music lessons for people who might not otherwise access such opportunities.
