THEAPOLLO
The Apollo
The Apollo was a music venue in Glasgow, Scotland, that operated between 1973 and 1985. It was opened by Unicorn Leisure, in September 1973, after acquiring a lease from the owners, George Green Ltd. The venue was officially opened to the public on 8 September 1973 and its debut live performance, held on 5 and 6 September 1973, featured Johnny Cash. While in operation, the venue hosted a number of popular music acts; however, the poor condition of the building became a financial burden and the venue closed in 1985. The Apollo was located in the same building as Greens Playhouse, a cinema and ballroom that operated from 1927 to 1973.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: The Apollo (Glasgow)
