Ahead of ‘An Evening with Alan McGee’ at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow, the Creation Records co-founder (and man responsible for spotting Oasis in Glasgow’s King Tut’s in 1993, signing them to his record label and propelling them to superstardom!) talks about his legendary career in the industry.

Grant will also preview the new Blu Ray release of Billy Wilder’s ONE, TWO, THREE, a witty and energetic comedic showpiece starring James Cagney.
