Live music performances across Glasgow in 'subway sessions'
Tide Lines, a folk-pop band, appeared at stations across the city on Monday as part of a one-day-only sub crawl with a twist.
The Highland band performed stripped-back songs from their upcoming album Glasgow Love Story, amassing a crowd outside Buchanan Street.

Tide Lines frontman Robert Robertson said: 'It was amazing to see so many people come out to watch us – even in the rain! We never take that kind of support for granted.
'There was such a buzz in the stations, especially with everyone singing along. We can't wait to do it all again at The Reeling in June.

'Our new album, Glasgow Love Story, is out this Friday. It's full of songs written for this city – about its people, its streets, the memories we've made here. So getting to play them right in the heart of Glasgow, where they belong, felt really special.'
The band will headline The Reeling, Glasgow's summer celebration of traditional music, on June 6.

After The Reeling, Tide Lines is set to appear at Belladrum, HebCelt and a free show at Aberdeen's Quayside Concerts before a headline UK tour in the autumn.
The band said they look forward to returning to the city and reminisced on their early days in West End bars to selling out three nights at the Barrowlands.
Tide Lines' new album will feature singles including The Quayside, Leaving Town, and Better Days.
