“Whilst I enjoyed Kevin’s poem and he is entertaining, I’m afraid his portrait of Glasgow was inaccurate and probably limited by his youth. The creative culture of Glasgow started well before the 90s Kevin. Has he heard of the late 19th century artists The Glasgow Boys? Charles Rennie Mackintosh? Same goes for the music scene - Simple Minds Kevin? And Glasgow people only talking to outsiders and not each other? - ludicrous, Glasgow people talk to everyone! Cringe-ing when he waffled on about sectarianism and I can assure him, that when spending 10 years in London and 10 years in the Middle east, I considered my Glasgow accent a badge of honour and not shame.”
