Memories of campfire singalong as Matt and the 1975 return

-

THE 1975 wowed at the SSE Hydro over the weekend but did you know they once camped by the banks of the River Clyde?

I first met Matt Healy and the lads in 2014 shortly after the release of their debut album.

They spent the night in a tent alongside Greg James at BBC HQ at the Quay after a quick chippy in town and ended up painting their nails and having a sing song round the campfire.

They looked a tad rough the next day.

Now Matt and the lads are massive and he is passionate about his music.

He told fans he’s now keen to make a definitive documentar­y about emo music starting from Rites Of Spring and going all the way through Get Up Kids, Brand New to where we are now.

Sounds like a great idea.
