Beach Boy bringing Pet Sounds to bandstand
POP legend Brian Wilson is to play at the bandstand in Kelvingrove Park this summer.
Wilson, the main songwriter behind the Beach Boys, will be performing songs from the band’s most famous album, Pet Sounds, on August 3 as part of the Summer Nights festival, now in its fourth year.
Pet Sounds, often described as one of the greatest pop albums of the 20th century, was released 51 years ago.
Other acts at the festival, which runs from August 2 to August 13 include Texas, KT Tunstall, Lady Smith Black Mambazo, and Pixies, who will play for two nights.
Seasick Steve, Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack and Andy Fairweather Low, The Shires, Hipsway and Arab Strap complete the festival’s line up.
Sharleen Spiteri, singer and songwriter of Texas said: “This feels like truly going home. It’ll be great to have a stage and a PA, just like the six-year- old me running up and down the park singing to an imaginary audience would have wished for.”
Mark Mackie, director of organisers Regular Music said: “We are delighted to be returning to the Kelvingrove Bandstand for our Regular Music’s Summer Nights, bringing with us such a stellar selection of world class performers.”
The bandstand has been revitalised as a music and performance venue recently.
