A GLASGOW bar has celebrated 20 years at the heart of Scotland's music scene with a charity event.
Bluedog toasted to a new partnership with Musicians Against Homelessness with a headline performance from up-and-coming artist Cammy Barnes earlier this week.
Bluedog and Musicians Against Homelessness have joined forces to raise money for homeless services across Scotland and beyond, while the charity also provides opportunities for up-coming talent with Bluedog offering up its stage to local artists.
Singer-songwriter Cammy Barnes, who recently toured with Brit Award winner Tom Walk and SAINT PHNX, is the first artist to take centre stage for Bluedog's birthday celebrations as it aims to cement its status as one of the best live music bars in the UK.
Bluedog first opened its doors in Glasgow in 2003 and has become renowned for its world-class entertainment programme with performances from established musicians while also offering a platform for new and emerging artists.
Bartosz Juraszek, general manager for Bluedog, said: "Following a refurb, Bluedog Glasgow reopened its doors earlier this month.
"Throughout the years we’ve hosted some of the UK’s top talent - who can forget Ed Sheeran’s impromptu performance back in 2014.
"As we reach our 20th birthday we wanted to celebrate by giving back to our community.
"We look forward to working with Musicians Against Homelessness by donating £1 from every signature Bluedog cocktail and we’ll be working closely with their talent team to offer up our stage for the next generation of talent.
"Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks."
Emma Rule, founder of Musicians Against Homelessness, added: "We’re over the moon to be partnering with Bluedog, a world-class venue with an impressive history of showcasing a wealth of musical talent.
"Glasgow is renowned for its live music scene and exciting artists, and we look forward to showcasing some of the best on offer.
"To date MAH has raised over £400,000.
"Homelessness remains an unsolved problem, so the support from Bluedog and the artists performing is much needed, and greatly appreciated."
