Detour's Wee Jaunt 2

Detour’s second ‘Wee Jaunt’ celebrates live music in a unique way. Ally MacCrae and David Weaver top their podcasts and individual band ‘kidnaps’ by leading a throng of 50-plus punters to a heap of mini gigs across Glasgow, with a helping hand from Bar Bloc.

The afternoon begins with Carnivores shaking the stairwell of Urban Central rehearsal studios, an acoustic solo set by Ryan Joseph Burns (Seventeenth Century) and Parsonage Choir in the Arches. Next, it’s off to Holy Mountain in Urban Outfitters and RM Hubbert’s gentle solo set on the steps of Love Music, before getting we're once again scooped up onto a bus.

Patrons are treated to some travel comedy by the Wee Man - hilarious but much of it unrepeatable. We emerge in Rouken Glen Park to find Ross Clark crooning in a stream, wellies and all, and Aerials Up tinkering about atop a hill in the woods. For tea, it’s Make Sparks and burgers by the pond. For afters, it’s back to Bloc with choral covers collective Blochestra and some ditties from Admiral Fallow’s Louis Abbott. Organised and filmed by volunteers, Detour might just be the guys to bring you back from the brink if you’ve ever felt jaded by how predictable gigging can get. [Lauren Mayberry]
