Jamie Duffy live in Glasgow

Experience Jamie Duffy live on November 20th

Jamie Duffy will perform at The Mackintosh Church in Glasgow on November 20, 2026. Duffy is a Scottish composer and performer whose work blends traditional Gaelic song and instrumentation with contemporary classical and electronic elements. Often incorporating field recordings and experimental sound design, his music explores themes of landscape, memory, and the intersection of tradition and modernity. He frequently utilizes instruments such as the fiddle, synthesizers, and processed vocals to create atmospheric and evocative soundscapes.

The Mackintosh Church, formally Queen’s Cross Church, is a significant building designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh completed in 1893. It represents a pivotal early commission for Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald, showcasing their distinctive Art Nouveau style. Originally a Free Church of Scotland building, it later became a United Free Church and then a Church of Scotland parish church.

The building faced closure in 2018 due to dwindling congregation numbers and structural issues but was saved through community efforts and is now managed by The Friends of The Mackintosh Church. Ongoing restoration work aims to preserve its architectural heritage while adapting it for use as a cultural venue hosting concerts, exhibitions, and community events.
