The Smiths, Nirvana, The Fall, Belle and Sebastian and even Billy Connolly have graced the venue's stage

In an article in the Glasgow Times to promote the anniversary exhibition, Duglas T Stewart of the BMX Bandits said: “I have many great memories of shows at the QMU. I think the first show I saw there was Marc and the Mambas in 1983, that was a side project for Marc Almond of Soft Cell.

“I was big Soft Cell fan. He is such an electrifying performer and I thought it was the best thing I’d ever seen. “The next year I saw The Smiths there. It was the time of their first album and it was an exuberant and joyous affair. “In the 1990s I have fond memories of going upstairs to say hi to Kurt after the Nirvana show. We talked a bit about music that we liked and I gave him a BMX Bandits T-shirt which he put on.”Garry John Kane bass player with The Proclaimers, said: “I have been lucky to watch bands and actually play on that great stage at the QMU. My stand out gigs were The Redskins the Strypes and the Fall last year which was emotional for all Fall fans.
