Scotland's largest city is preparing for a feast of music this month - and there’s still time to be part of it. Here are five events which caught our eye and still have tickets available.

The Milk Carton Kids: The four-time Grammy Award-nominated neotraditi­onal folk duo from California recently released their seventh album ‘I Only See The Moon’. They play the Pavilion Theatre on Sunday the only Scottish date of their internatio­nal tour. Support is provided by Jenny Owen Youngs.

Mark Radcliffe and David Boardman: Better known as a radio DJ who has worked for the BBC since the 1980’s, Mark Radcliffe is also a musician. Unofficial­ly known as The Long Ridge Riders, this collaborat­ion with singer/songwriter David Boardman will play the National Piping Centre on Monday.

Dougie Maclean:

Best known for his song ‘Caledonia’, Dougie Maclean will be marking 50 years of making music with a special concert at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday, January 23. He’ll be joined by a series of friends to play the songs that have seen him win three prestigiou­s Tartan Clef Awards and a place in the Scottish Music Hall of Fame.

Jesca Hoop: Counting Tom Waites, Guy Garvey and Peter Gabriel as fans, California­n singersong­writer and guitarist Jesca Hoop is playing at Oran Mor on Thursday, January 25. Unlikely support comes from Michael and Michelle - Downton Abbey stars Michelle Dockery and Michael Fox - who started writing together on set.
