This place brings back memories 😍🎸
It was Glasgow's best-known music store where generations of aspiring young guitarists flocked to pick up their first real six string.
Established by John McCormack, the family-run business began life in Cowcaddens in 1940, but it was in the Swinging Sixties when the electric guitar took hold that the music shop really started to hit the high notes. It's even said that Status Quo duo Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt picked up what would become their trademark guitars second hand from McCormack's in 1968, Rossi forking out £75 for his Fender Telecaster.
Simple Minds guitarist Charlie Burchill is one of many successful Glasgow musicians who credits McCormack's with putting him on the road to success. Fellow city rockers Del Amitri have previously revealed how McCormack's was responsible for the recruitment of their guitarist Iain Harvie. Back in the '80s lead singer and band founder Justin Currie put up a notice in the Bath Street shop - although it didn't bear fruit right away.
