Tom McGuire & The Brassholes on whistlestop tour of subway

SUBWAY passengers were given an unexpected musical accompaniment to their journey yesterday.

Glasgow band Tom McGuire & The Brassholes sneaked on to the public transport system to debut some of their new album.

Acting without prior permission, the cheeky musicians travelled on to the underground one at a time to avoid arousing suspicion.

Describing themselves as an eclectic, modernsoul-funk band, the eight-piece group performed on the anti-clockwise loop of the subway.

The band, headed up by Tom, say they “earned their stripes on Sauchiehall and Buchanan Street as buskers during Glasgow’s 2014 Commonwealth Games, and have slowly been working their way up the staircase of success, becoming one of Scotland’s most vibrant live acts.”

The group’s debut self-titled album is due for release this month.
