This summer, musicians can take centre stage at Buchanan Galleries as the Glasgow shopping centre launches a ‘Busk Stop’ – allowing young buskers to perform inside the centre at a dedicated busking area for the very first time.
Launching on Monday 30th June, Buchanan Galleries will be shining a spotlight on the region’s young artists and performers, where they will be given the chance to perform in a safe space to a walk-by audience.
Buchanan Galleries’ ‘Busk Stop’ has been specially created for young local singers and musicians to perform live at the centre, bringing a vibrant atmosphere to guests. 11-year-old Glasgow singer, Rachel Ronnie will officially launch the ‘Busk Stop’ with the first performance on Monday 30th June at 12pm – 1pm.
The ‘Busk Stop’ will be located by the flower wall at Buchanan Galleries and will serve as a centrepiece for aspiring young artists to engage with visitors, entertain, and showcase their talent during the summer holidays. Following the launch event, performances will be on a rotation schedule to ensure fresh entertainment for all to enjoy.
The centre is calling for young artists across the region to register to perform at its ‘Busk Stop’ free of charge. Performers will be able to reserve hour slots throughout the summer holidays and is available to both emerging and seasoned young artists.
