My verdict of Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition in Glasgow
Drive along the Clydeside this week and you can't miss the endless posters promoting this new experience which has arrived in Glasgow. Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition officially launched to press and VIPs last night, and I was invited along to take part in the experience. My knowledge of this Egyptian pharaoh is limited but I had a thirst for learning, and was excited to see what the fuss was all about. (Image: The Tutankhamun Immersive Experience which runs at SEC Glasgow for 14 weeks. Pic Gordon Terris) (Image: The Tutankhamun Immersive Experience which runs at SEC Glasgow for 14 weeks. Pic Gordon Terris) I took my dad with me, who has watched documentaries on the historical figure, and on arrival we were met by the staff who took fun photos of us - which comes at an extra cost. They made the experience for me - they were so helpful, encouraging and had smiles on their faces throughout. They are a credit to those behind the production. (Image: The Tutankhamun Immersive Experience which runs at SEC Glasgow for 14 weeks. Pic Gordon Terris) We then entered the exhibit with replicas of treasures connected to ancient Egypt on display. This section of the museum was packed with placards detailing the story of Tutankhamun and the discovery of his tomb. It was so interesting but I need to be honest and say overwhelming. Usually I love reading anything that helps develop a narrative at museum but it was hard to concentrate with the haunting music of the exhibition blaring out of the speakers. I found myself stopping and restarting the story. An ideal solution might be ear phones with someone telling the story as you walk through. It might not bother others but it did dampen the start to my Tutankhamun journey. (Image: The Tutankhamun Immersive Experience which runs at SEC Glasgow for 14 weeks. Pic Gordon Terris) The next phase was a big room that really kicked off the immersive experience. You sit in a room with others and all the walls are covered in graphics telling the story. At the point I entered the room the story was underway so it took a minute to get into what was going on. This was visually beautiful and provided a moment to remember. Another room takes you on a Virtual Reality (VR) journey to the afterlife. It was okay. You sat on a normal chair and put the headset on. The chair allowed you to move around if you wanted to. I have done similar things abroad including Sisi's Amazing Journey VR Experience in Vienna. This attraction told the story of the famous empress but the chair was more hi-tech and moved, I guess I had been spoiled before and wanted the same. My favourite part of the experience was the mummification hologram. I felt I learnt the most here and it was so interesting. There was wee bits of information given during this part - I don't want to spoil - that had me wanting to know more. The final part was a full VR experience. The technology was amazing as you were guided into a room using a full headset. To be honest I am too much of a wimp and the idea of not knowing where I was going made me take the headset off. But I know other people will love this and see it as a highlight. READ NEXT: I saw & Juliet at the King's Theatre in Glasgow - my verdict READ NEXT: I saw Anastacia live in Glasgow - and she revealed her Scottish 'addiction' So why did I give this three stars? Aside from a few things mentioned above, the sticking point for me is the price of £28 per ticket. I just think it is a lot for families who maybe want to make a day of it. Yes concessions are available but I do think it could be slightly cheaper given the cost of similar experiences across Europe. A quick Google also tells you tickets started at 14 euros in Barcelona last year and from 10.90 euros in Madrid in 2023. The exhibit may have changed or had more technology added, but prices like this would make it more accessible. Catch Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition from July 24 to October 26.

Bay City Rollers star talks about new Pavilion musical in Glasgow
'The theatre is just across the road from where Glasgow's most famous music venue, the Apollo, once stood,' says Woody, with a smile. 'We played the Apollo three times, and I have so many good memories of the place and the city.' The Bay City Rollers – tartan-clad, generation-defining teen idols - had nine top 10 hits between 1974 and 1976, have sold 300 million albums worldwide and (with a few line-up changes along the way) are still touring. Bay City Rollers fans outside the Apollo in Glasgow in 1973 (Image: Newsquest) During their heyday, Rollermania swept the nation, and the band's fans were well-known for their enthusiasm in greeting their heroes wherever they performed. Glasgow was no exception, says Woody, who has been part of the band since the 70s. 'We had to get shipped in, round the back of the Apollo, in this big white van with no windows,' he recalls, with a laugh. 'We never saw the fans outside, but we heard them. And on stage, seeing their faces, the sheer delight – it was quite something.' (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) He adds: 'The nicest part of being in the Bay City Rollers is the fans. They are very loyal, very loud – some of them have been with us since the beginning and are in their 60s and 70s now. And what's really magical is they're bringing their kids and their grandkids, who have grown up listening to our music.' Joe Gill, Chiara Sparkes, Stuart 'Woody' Wood, Dani Heron and writer Danny McCahon (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) Rollers Forever, which runs from August 19 to 30 at the Pavilion Theatre, stars Dani Heron and Chiara Sparkes as Jenny and Susan, two lifelong fans who reconnect one Saturday night and relive their teenage obsession with their favourite band. Written by award-winning playwright Danny McCahon and directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Liz Carruthers, the production marks the 50th anniversary of the Bay City Rollers' first number one hit, Bye Bye Baby, in 1975. Woody, who recently published his memoir, Mania, is the show's 'artistic consultant' and he says it has been a fantastic experience. 'It's great that the story is being seen through the eyes of the amazing BCR fans … it's their turn to shine,' he explains. 'I'm really chuffed to be involved – it's all about the songs, and these songs have stood the test of time. 'If you'd have told us 50 years ago that our songs would still be being played on the radio, and in theatres, and that we'd still be touring – well, we'd have been very surprised.' Cast members Joe Gill, Chiara Sparkes and Dani Heron with Stuart 'Woody' Wood (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) He adds, smiling: 'It's a great feeling, to know that even when us lot are no longer here, something of us will still be going strong.' Despite growing up in Edinburgh – he now lives just outside the city with his wife Denise and their labradoodle Elvis - Woody has close links with Glasgow and the west of Scotland. His mum is from Clydebank, and he remembers childhood visits to the city at Christmas time. 'She'd take us to George Square to see the lights, it was lovely,' he recalls. He grew up 'surrounded by music', he says. 'My family had a piano in the house and my mum used to wake us up by singing opera,' he grins. 'Pals at school wanted to be in a band, so I thought, why not? I couldn't play guitar, I played trumpet and clarinet back then, I was a real jazz fiend. 'But at 15, I got into pop music and it all just happened from there. I just loved hanging about playing music with my friends. And that has never really changed.' It's the best reason for being in a band, Woody points out. 'If you're doing it for the fame or the money or because you want hits then you'll come a cropper,' he says. 'You've got to do it because you have a passion for it – and I still do.' He pauses. 'The day I no longer have that is the day I retire.'
