Based in City of Glasgow

Music

To build hope, resilience, teamwork, listening and communication through music in Govan.

Govan faces tremendous economic and social hardship. So, named after the ship building barons, The Glasgow Barons have been helping make music in Govan since 2017 with schools, community groups and local people. We bring diverse audiences together in a wide range of local venues, be it Fairfield Club, Govan & Linthouse Parish Church, or the Billiard Room Sessions in the Pearce Institute.

Local groups build music programmes with our support, such as our asylum-seeking Musicians In Exile and The Linties’ golden oldies singalong group. We also support local singer-songwriters and rappers to tell Govan’s story.

We pay local folk to support our charitable objectives. We align closely with the Govan-Part NSPCC Together for Childhood and other local partners to maximise and sustain our impact.

The Glasgow Barons are based in Govan where our Artistic Director is also a resident and community councillor.
