Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra live in Glasgow

Experience Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra live on November 19th

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra are scheduled to perform at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow on November 19, 2026. The band is known for their unique blend of Western Swing, early Jazz, Country and Blues, often described as ‘swing with a twist of British eccentricity’. Their performances frequently feature intricate arrangements incorporating instruments like pedal steel guitar, clarinet, trombone and upright bass alongside more conventional rock instrumentation. They have built a dedicated following through extensive touring and several album releases since forming in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2007.

The Glad Cafe is a community arts venue located in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. Originally a traditional cafe, it was re-established as a creative hub in 2012 following a fire. It functions as a cafe during the day and hosts a diverse programme of events in the evenings including live music, theatre, comedy and film screenings. The space is known for its intimate atmosphere and support for emerging artists alongside established acts. It aims to be an inclusive and accessible venue for both performers and audiences. The building itself has historical significance within the local community, having served as a local gathering point for many years.
