Can you remember what the bandstand was like? Can you imagine what a new performance space might be like? |
 |
|
This "new" bandstand was erected in the
1930s replacing the original cast iron bandstand which had been moved to
Duchess Park in Motherwell some ten years earlier. At that time the residents were without the bandstand for 10 years - we've been without one for slightly longer, the last one having burned down in 1996. |
Welcome! to the website for Queen’s Park Performance Project We represent four community councils on Glasgow’s southside. Our aim is to restore the amphitheatre / former bandstand area in Queen’s Park for modern performance use.
The project will provide opportunities to perform, entertain, and enhance the Park. This is a pilot project designed to see whether community councils can work together to shape and lead community projects. It is one of only two in Scotland supported with £15,000 pump-priming funding in 2009-10. |
Around the time of the Southside
Festival we asked users of the park about the things they'd like
to see happening in the old bandstand area. The responses ranged from
Concerts to Open Air Theatre and Films. We'd expected the "concerts" but were surprised that a majority of people wanted to see Drama presentations and Dance. |
