Paul Condron, Marketing Director for Magners Irish Cider said: “2014 is an incredible year for Glasgow, a city that rightly enjoys a great reputation for music. We’re sure that Magners Summer Nights will add to this reputation and we’re delighted to bring such a strong line-up of UK and international artists to the Kelvingrove Bandstand. It’s great to see the beautifully refurbished venue being used for such high profile events for the people of Glasgow and beyond. We’re already looking forward to these warm summer evenings with a cold Magners in hand, surrounded by good friends and great music.”
