The Serviced City Pads blog likes to draw attention to exciting live music, and today’s blog will be looking at a show by the alternative rock band Wilco. From Chicago, Illinois, the band are led by the incredibly talented songwriter Jeff Tweedy (Wilco was formed by Tweedy after the break-up of Uncle Tupelo). The band have developed and redefined their sound with each successive album; the biggest commercial breakthroughs were 2002’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” and 2004’s “A Ghost is Born”. The release of “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” the album that really pushed Wilco to new heights, almost did not happen. The album was finished in 2001, but the band’s label at the time, Reprise Records, were reluctant to release it, feeling that it needed changing. Tweedy and Wilco stuck to their guns, and after months of frustration managed to get the album released by Nonesuch Records. This chapter of their career was the making of the band, and struck a blow for all musicians who have ever been hampered by the machinations of the music business. The story of “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” has a happy ending, and is chronicled in the excellent documentary “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart,” which had behind the scenes access to all the drama. Since that turbulent phase in their career, Wilco has steadily grown to become one of the most influential and respected groups in music today. The concert that will take place at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall will be a chance for Wilco fans to see a band on top of their game – it is no accident that the band has a reputation as excellent live performers.

If you are going to be seeing Wilco in Glasgow on Monday 24th October 2011, then you are probably thinking about accommodation for your stay. If this is the case, why not look at a serviced apartment?

Serviced apartments usually have bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room / dining area which is a great space to relax in.

Katy Perry is touring the UK this year in support of her 2010 smash album “Teenage Dream,” and she will be playing the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow on 1^st, 3^rd, and 4^th November 2011. This will be a great chance for her adoring fans to see her live, performing some of her greatest hits. Indeed, it is incredible how many hits Katy Perry has had from her two major successes, 2008’s “One of the Boys” and 2010’s “Teenage Dream.” If you are lucky enough to have a ticket to see the Glasgow shows, you will be reminded just how many of her songs have stormed the charts, from “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot and Cold” to “Teenage Dream” and “Firework.” The stage show should be a spectacle to behold, as Perry has already gained a reputation as a great live performer.

The Scottish Symphony Orchestra will be performing at City Halls in Glasgow on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September. The two shows will celebrate the work of legendary film composer Bernard Herrmann, famous for his scores for Alfred Hitchcock masterpieces such as “Vertigo,” “North by Northwest,” and perhaps most of all for “Psycho”. His scores were innovative and powerful and it is hard to imagine the films without them. These two performances will offer the chance for people to hear some of these iconic scores live, performed by the Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

The first night will see a screening of the classic horror film “Psycho” but with the score being performed live by the SSO. It is sure to be an incredible experience for those lucky enough to have a ticket.

The second night will be just as exciting. Under the wonderful title “Music to be Murdered by,” the SSO will be performing a wide selection of Herrmann’s film scores.

These two nights will be a treat for any horror fans, and also for anyone who has a love of film soundtracks. The Serviced City Pads blog should probably warn you that if you are of a delicate disposition you may want to think twice before attending this event. These will be two evenings of music that should unnerve you as much as they delight you.

Glasgow hotels can be the obvious choice when looking for somewhere to stay but hotels do not always offer the best quality and value at the best price. If affordable hotels are chosen, the standards of it may be rather basic. Small hotel rooms, basic facilities and busy communal areas are often complaints heard from corporate guests.

When travelling away on business, it is important to find somewhere comfortable and spacious where you can relax and spend your time. Being stuck in a small and noisy hotel room can be quite depressing and can make it challenging to both work and sleep. It is often the case when away on a corporate trip that a few of those away wish to get together to plan or just to unwind. In a hotel, this can be difficult because there is always so much going on and because space is restricted.

The solution to these problems are serviced apartments. A serviced apartment provides the perfect corporate accommodation in Glasgow. These apartments are spacious, fully-furnished and are ready for the wants and needs of all guests.

At Serviced City Pads, we know our luxury serviced apartments offer the highest standard of corporate accommodation in Glasgow whilst still remaining affordable. Our apartments are the ideal accommodation solution.

Before you travel to a city such as Glasgow it is advisable to spend some time searching for alternative accommodation to a hotel. Apartments are an option to be considered as they can be well equipped as well as providing more space for you to relax in. Glasgow airport hotels often have smaller rooms than you would find in an apartment and can’t offer facilities for you to prepare a meal or do any laundry. You have to eat in the hotel or go to a restaurant which isn’t always what you feel like doing, especially after a hectic day.

Here at Serviced City Pads we have many serviced apartments in Glasgow and all over the United Kingdom, and offer spacious accommodation with a superior standard of decor. We offer both short and long term lets which are suitable for all occasions whether you want one night before a flight or a month whilst away on business.

When travelling to another city such as Glasgow it often makes sense to stay in the same city rather than commute, which is both expensive as well as exhausting. Finding corporate accommodation in Glasgow usually entails booking a hotel room for the duration, which can have many disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks to a hotel is the lack of space either to entertain clients or to hold meetings. Trying to find a suitable venue for a business meeting can be difficult especially if you are not familiar with the area. Entertaining clients can also become expensive if you are taking them to a restaurant.

An apartment provides convenient and economical corporate accommodation in Glasgow, and here at Serviced City Pads we have a large number of apartments available for you. We make life much easier for you by setting up a corporate account and invoicing you on a monthly basis. Whatever your requirements are for an apartment, we will help you source serviced apartments in Glasgow.

Finding accommodation in the perfect location with all the comforts of a luxury hotel will make it much easier to conduct business meetings or entertain clients. Serviced apartments in Glasgow are ideal for longer trips, so you can enjoy privacy and space for a comfortable visit.
