Sold Out How Scotlands Music Scene Is Booming (from Sunday Herald): "SCOTLAND'S LIVE music scene is in the middle of a boom period according to industry experts, with a higher than ever number of sold-out gigs taking place across the country in the next few months.
"Bands and promoters using the internet to alert fans to gigs, more capacity for live music - especially in Glasgow - and a revived culture of audiences experiencing live music are being credited for the increase in the number of concerts being held in Scotland....
"Concert capacity in the west of Scotland and Aberdeen has increased in recent years, with new venues such as Glasgow's ABC and Carling Academy now holding a number of busy events each week....
"[Geoff Ellis, chief executive of DF Concerts] said 'Mainly the product is very, very good at the moment. You can't beat the experience of being at a gig, and venues are much better than 10 years ago. The ante has been raised in terms of venues giving value for money and instead of clubbing, live music is really at the fore now.'"
