As birthday parties go it was an epic one as Clyde 1 celebrated its first 50 years in some style with a sold out gig, Clyde 1 Live, at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
Clyde 1 favourites Texas were joined by Tom Walker, Amy Macdonald, Emeli Sande and Callum Beattie and if you couldn’t make it in person don’t worry – you can hear the whole gig again on Clyde 1 from 4pm on Sunday June 2nd on ‘Clyde 1 Live REPLAY’.
To kick the gig off, Clyde 1 presenter George Bowie, took to the stage in front of the 12,500 strong audience to perform one his legendary GBX sets. He was joined on stage by Bowie@Breakfast co-presenter Cassi and fellow Clyde 1 presenter Callum Gallacher who also treated the OVO Hydro crowd to a DJ set.
There was also a surprise guest as Nathan Evans dropped in to perform his huge hit – Heather On The Hill.
Bowie@Breakfast presenters George and Cassi said: ‘What a night and what a party! Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Clyde 1’s first 50 years – let’s all raise a glass to the next 50!’
Victoria Easton-Riley, Hits Radio Brand Content Director said: ‘A huge thank you to all the incredible artists, guests, presenters and everyone behind the scenes who made Clyde 1 Live such an amazing evening. It was clear just how much Clyde 1 meant – and still means – to everyone involved and most of all to our listeners. It was an absolute privilege to be put this gig on for them.’
