Cosy home life. It's Sunday and we go to Glasgow Barras which is a market place in the east end of Glasgow, a very old market place in fact.

i remember being there as a kid late 1970s, (my mum being from Glasgow), it was exciting, stalls with punk rock stuff, posters, badges, clothing, cool toys, etc. now it looks like any other indoor market I've seen lately with stalls crammed with a pile of crap that no one wants (should be in skip..probably where they found it) and anything interesting is overpriced ?

Another great video Christine. Thanks for bringing us along on your trip to Glasgow. It was a trip down memory lane for me. I went to the Barras for the first time in the late 80s when I came to Edinburgh to start my nurse training, haven't been back for 30yrs. How kind of you promoting the ladies stalls, their Diamond Art cards are beautiful. The wee card with westie, looked just like your wee Maggie ❤Went to see Elvis Costello at the Barrowlands a few years back. If you & Tam feel up to it please do more videos going to other places. Maybe come to Edinburgh? Lx

I actually seen John carpenter at that hall upstairs a few years ago. I have not been to the actual market in probably about 28 years. The indoor bit looks much the same from what I remember. That time 28 years ago was the first and only time I visited that barras market. So yes only been there once and it was nearly 3 decades ago. I think they actually had executions at that Trongate.
