You walk into Candleriggs and immediately feel the weight of Glasgow's mercantile past. The Old Fruitmarket's soaring cast-iron columns and glazed roof have been meticulously restored, creating this cathedral of a venue that somehow manages to feel intimate despite its cavernous proportions. Whether you're catching an indie band, orchestral performance, or comedy night, there's something about experiencing live music in a 1800s warehouse that just hits different. The sound engineering is genuinely impressive—they've managed to preserve all that character without sacrificing acoustics, which is rare.
