	Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Concert Hall was a byproduct of Glasgow's 1990 City of Culture status, and was intended as a replacement for St. Andrews Hall, which had been destroyed by fire in 1964.
		The hall occupies a site at the junction of Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street, which was once home to the Glasgow NAAFI, and the former Parliamentary Road, which was rendered derelict after the building of Buchanan St. Bus Station in 1978.
		During the building phase the Concert Hall attracted much criticism from the press owing to its huge cost, and the management of its construction, its over-imposing facade, and even the acoustics of the main auditorium have been criticised.

	Piper & Drummer Online - Reviews
		Unplugged — Live at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall captures the Field Marshal Montgomery band from County Down playing to a large and lively crowd in Glasgow three days before last year's World Pipe Band Championships (which it went on to win).
		A proportion of the material is drawn from past medleys that have done good service on Glasgow Green, with hornpipes well to the fore, as ever, and a brace of strong jigs drawing whoops of appreciation from the band-savvy audience in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
		All this would probably have been impractical 10 years ago, when instruments were less reliable, and players unaccustomed to long concert performances, but times have changed, and the competition system should change with them.
