Tom Robinson in Glasgow
The Mens' Union at Glasgow
University, not exactly renowned as a citadel of gay liberation, was
the venue for the Tom Robinson Band on November 19 [1977]. Maybe the
organizers hadn't realized they'd booked a band committed to gay
rights. There were a few jeers and catcalls, but these were more than
outweighed by the enthusiastic reception for the Band's "Glad to
be Gay" song. Next day Tom visited Glasgow Gay Centre and left
the following message for the notice board: "This centre is just
fucking amazing! Wish we had something like it in London. Lot of luck
to you all."
