Glasgow’s Asian Record Shops, 1970s-90s Part of the Black History Month at Glasgow Museums collection

This talk celebrates the pioneering Asian owned record shops of the 1970s-90s and their importance in Glasgow’s music scene & culture.

At a time when Glasgow had over 100 record shops, only a few specialised in Asian music. More than just music retailers, they helped galvanise their communities and beyond. This talk will celebrate the ones we know about and reach out for people’s memories of those we don’t.
