Radio Clyde, in partnership with Glasgow Life, has held yet another exclusive music event to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The station welcomed 90s icon Lisa Stansfield to perform in front of a select audience of competition winners and guests of the station at the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow’s merchant city.
Lisa, along with her stripped back
three-piece band, played songs from her upcoming album ‘Seven’ as well as a couple of mega hits that have
helped her sell 20 million albums worldwide. The Old Fruitmarket, in Glasgow’s
merchant city area, provided the backdrop for the performance, and at times threatened to steal the limelight from the fantastic talent on stage. Working in partnership with
Glasgow Life has meant that Radio Clyde will be bringing other massive acts to more of Glasgow and the West’s most beautiful and iconic venues in 2014.
