This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Laura Doherty:- "Council recognises the Barrowland Ballroom is a world-famous music venue, beloved by musicians, their audiences, locals and the people of Glasgow. Council agrees with industry experts that 'the Barrowland' is authentic, committed to promoting good music and emerging acts, has excellent sound quality, and energetic crowds that create the legendary Barrowland bounce on its sprung floor. Council notes that earlier this year Pollstar, the global live entertainment industry's leading trade publication, named the Barrowland as #1 in the UK "club" venues in terms of grosses and ticket sales in the Global 100", and more recently as the second most successful "club venue" in Europe, with the city's King Tut's Wah Wah Hut coming in eighth place, one of only two other UK venues in the top 10. Council recognises the contribution of the Barrowland, its staff, visiting bands and gig goers to Glasgow's creative and cultural economy, which is the engine of Scotland. Council notes this dynamic musical heritage is so important that in 2008 it was designated the U.K.'s first City of Music by UNESCO, and Glasgow is now celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of this accolade. Council further notes the affection for the Barrowland by bands, the local community, and wider Glaswegians and should be celebrated during the UNESCO Creative City of Music anniversary and in the run up to Glasgow's 850th birthday. Council notes that Barrowland Park contains shortlisted 2005 Turner Prize nominee Jim Lambie's "Album Pathway" - a paved walkway that pays tribute to all the musical acts that have played at Glasgow's famous Barrowland concert venue. Council welcomes the report going to the Economy, Housing, Transport and Regeneration City Policy Committee later this year regarding a long term vision for the temporary green space developed as a Stalled Spaces initiative by Glasgow City Council in conjunction with the Calton Barras Action Plan and Glasgow Life. Council believes that until recently the Calton was overlooked and since then millions in investment is ending 40 years of blight in the East End, delivering new housing and revitalised neighbourhoods in the Calton, transforming the Meat Market area and protecting and preserving the Peoples Palace & Winter Gardens. Council instructs Officers to engage with the Barrowland Ballroom, other music venues, and local community assets to investigate collaboration on a programme of events and activities celebrating our UNESCO Creative City of Music status in the run up to, including and beyond our 850th anniversary in 2025, and ensure that curation of the themes of Culture, Communities and neighbourhoods and others reflect the distinct contribution of the Barrowland Ballroom to the people of the Calton and Glasgow.".
