Bob: I’ll have Scream at my old park
PRIMAL Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie has told of his delight at performing in the Glasgow park where he played football as a kid.
The band will perform two gigs tonight and tomorrow night in Queen’s Park on the city’s southside, days after they wowed the crowds at Glastonbury.
A big top with the same capacity as a football pitch has been created for the sold-out shows on the site of the park’s former recreation grounds.
Gillespie, 61, who lives in London with fashion stylist wife Katy England and two sons, said it was a “fantastic feeling’ to be playing a gig in one of his childhood haunts.
He said: “When we were kids we’d say ‘meet you at the Recs’ for football.
“Now, Primal Scream are playing a gig there – it’s a fantastic feeling.”
