Going to The Ferry in Glasgow on Friday to see a Led Zep tribute act (sorry truth is i'm being dragged there by wife and son and his pal! ) I've never been there before.....Is it a good venue?

Anyone else going?

Thats good to hear..at least the groups good......just wondering about the ferry as a venue? I remember using the Renfrew Ferry across the water to Clydebank, cant see how it can be a venue for music?

It's a bit strange for a venue really!!Restraunt on the upper deck with stage and bar on the lower deck.If you're down at the stage you're never ever more than about 15 ft away from stage.Not too bad a sound.Dreadful lighting unless the band themselves have their own rig.I'm sure you'll enjoy it though!!

If it's busy, no. It's too small, and downstairs is awful for sound, the bars are small, and expensive.

But it has a certain atmosphere and charm. Better for quieter gigs in my opinion.

PS. Parking can be a nightmare if there's events on at SECC, Hydro etc nearby.

Some very loud bands play there!!!Walter Trout....very rocky blues,Focus.....all sorts of tribute bands.It'll all depend on whether it's the bands' own engineer or the house engineer!!!But it will be loud!!!Lol!!!Remember your earplugs!!!I always take some just in case.

love those kind of venues, ye get up and close to the band, usually end up drinking with them at the end of the night.

not strange for a ferry to be known as one of the great venues for tributes acts an special bands

even the actor steven seagal n his band played there

The Ferry has been an amazing little venue over the years, despite the drawbacks previously mentioned.

One real downside is that since it's moved from the south bank to the north, it's been subject to noise limiting regulations (cos the north is closer to housing).

A sadness on my part is that when it was on the south side it 'pointed' in a direction that allowed the setting sun into the venue and created some wonderful atmospherics.

Travelling by train is a great idea. If you can be arsed working out how to do it, Anderston train station is dead handy (it's where the Expressway sits under the Kingston Bridge).

Enjoy.

Wee tip...

Always check your drink receipt or better still go to the bar yourself...have been before and drinks were added to the list that was never ordered but wanted paid for.
