CORE FEST, DAY 1, MARYHILL COMMUNITY HALLS, GLASGOW, AUGUST 18 2023

432 Promotions bring an ambitious new multi-venue alt-heavy fest to Glasgow. Day 1 featured just the three bands, and kept itself to the main hall, getting us off to a gentle start. Heavier stuff to come, but here's what we were all calling 'Emo night'

Line-up:

FLINCH: Kicking off the Fest after a lengthy delay, and interrupted a few times by an unwelcome fire alarm, we have some pleasantly wistful indie-emo pop songs from this Glaswegian quartet. Never played a gig with a barrier before, apparently.

JACK BROTHERHOOD: 'Glasgow's premier gay dad rock band', it seems, doing their sturdy emo thing.
