The Barras Boogie
“It’s easy to be disappointed about what we’ve lost but this song is a celebration of what was.” 'The Girly Whirlies’ (as they named themselves) met weekly between September and December at our space in the Gallowgate and together decided to write an upbeat song about the history of the area… We started talking about all the strong women who were a big part of its history – such as Margaret McIver. We spoke about how the area has changed and decided that doing some photography to go with the song would be a good way to rediscover it. Going out in the pouring rain and taking photos, talking to shopkeepers and locals, we found a sense of community was still present. People regaled us with stories about the buildings, and the history of the area and were very generous with their time.” - The Girly Whirlies
