A Glasgow shopping centre has launched a 'busk stop' to allow young musicians to perform to hundreds of shoppers.

Buchanan Galleries is encouraging young buskers to take to the stage at the new indoor busking area this summer.

This gives performers a chance to showcase their talent in a safe and welcoming environment.

The busk stop will be open to young artists from across the region to register to perform at its ‘Busk Stop’ free of charge at https://www.buchanangalleries.co.uk/en/articles-listing-page/busk-stop.

Aspiring buskers can reserve hour-long slots throughout the summer holidays.
