I was asked along to an art exhibition at the Panopticon Music Hall in Glasgow's Trongate
recently to view the work of artist Ryan Muttar.
I've lived in Glasgow most of my life and had only just heard of this fantastic old venue. It opened its doors in 1857 and such luminaries as Dan Leno, Harry Lauder and a sixteen year old Stan Laurel have all tread the boards during a somewhat colourful past.
It was quite an experience, you could feel the atmosphere and easily imagine the noise of the crowd.
Quite unexpectedly, we were treated to an act of bygone times involving a young lady covered in balloons brandishing a long pin. As this is a family blog, I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.
This is undoubtedly one of Glasgow's best kept secrets.
