		Originally established in 1934, the Barrowland Ballroom is named after the Glasgow Barrowland Market, known as ‘The Barras’ in the vernacular, where the dance hall and concert venue is situated in the mercantile district, just to the east of Glasgow City Centre.
		The former building that housed the ballroom was later ravaged by fire in 1958, resulting to a complete rebuild of the complex.
		The swinging 1960s marked the turning point for the Barrowlands as a result of the decline in ballroom dancing and the remarkable resurgence of rock and pop music that swept Britain, Europe and America astronomically.

		He claims to have picked up a man who matched the description of the killer after he was seen arguing with a woman he had just met in the Barrowland Ballroom.
		However, the suspect — who gave the false name John White to the woman and the police — was released that night by the senior officer in the inquiry because his front teeth did not cross, a trait that had been mentioned to police by a friend of one of the victims.
		Although the suspect needed stitches in his head, as soon as his handcuffs were taken off, he escaped out the back door of the hospital.

		The bright and distinctive Barrowland sign is “an iconic image of Scotland” say the campaigners, who are keen to secure its status, should the building ever be sold for development.

		They had been happy to look after their grandson when necessary in the past, and so Patricia asked if they'd mind looking after him on the night of Feb. 22, as she'd decided to go out for an evening.
		Some of her friends liked to go to the city's Barrowland Ballroom on Thursday nights, when the popular dancehall catered specifically to those aged 25 and up.

		With the opening chords of “Michael,” Franz Ferdinand kicked off the evening as the crowd on the ballroom floor surged towards the stage, heaving half full cups of beer into the air, while others fought to stick up camera phones to grab a quick snapshot.
		And the crowd didn’t let up for a moment, jumping up and down and singing along to every note, putting huge smiles across the four band members’ faces, as they proceeded through almost all the songs from their self titled album.

		In effect, they have been a pretty nondescript fixture on the Scottish circuit for some time now, albeit one with an established, loyal fan-base.
		But then, this year, their third album, Final Straw - and in particular the anthemic single "Run" - brought them to the nation's attention, which is why this gig, the last of three sold- out consecutive nights in the Barrowland Ballroom, is entirely deserving of its description as a "triumphant homecoming".
