Superstar singer-songwriter Jake Bugg has revealed his favourite things to do when he comes to Glasgow.

“Whenever we’re in the city we’ll always make sure we find a good bar to drink in,” Bugg told the Glasgow Times. 

He continued: “We have such a great time in Glasgow, there’s always something to do.

“Every time we know we’re playing there we get really excited because we know how much a Glasgow crowd love their music and every single time we play it’s been a brilliant show for us.”

He added that one of his favourite places to frequent in Glasgow is Mother India in the West End.

And lucky for the Nottingham lad – and his Glasgow fans – he will return to the city towards the end of the year. 

Playing a sold-out show at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom on November 23, it is safe to say the 30-year-old is looking forward to his trip. 

Bugg said: “The Barrowlands always has a great energy to it, I’m really excited to play it – I can’t wait.”

The show comes off the back of Bugg’s support slot at the same venue for Liam Gallagher and John Squire on their tour just a few months back. 

Speaking on the experience, Bugg said: “I grew up listening to them both, so to be opening for them and sharing a stage was just mind-blowing.”

Bugg’s return to the city will follow the release of his new studio album, A Modern Day Distraction, out September 20. 

The record – born out of a frustration of societal inequality – will offer fans a mix of Jake Bugg’s old sound and new. 

He explained: “The album feels a bit more like the older stuff I used to play – which feels like a natural progression. 

“There’s a couple of tracks on the album that are acoustic but most of the album is a bit more up-tempo - especially the first three songs that I’ve released so far.”

He added: “I’m feeling excited with a mix of apprehension, of course. 

“You never know what’s going to happen, but I hope that some of the fans like the record.”

The album will be Bugg’s sixth volume of work – and will mark 12 years since the release of his Mercury-nominated, chart-topping, self-titled debut record. 

He was just 18 years old at the time of its release. 

He said: “I don’t know where the time has gone. It doesn’t feel like that long ago since I made the first album. 

“It’s been a crazy few years, but I wouldn’t change any of it.”
