Southside Fringe Festival: Thomson on Tape @ Bungo-Lo
May 18 @ 6:45 pm – 9:00 pm
Southside Fringe Festival: Thomson on Tape @ Bungo-Lo

Hosted as part of the Southside Fringe Festival, join us for an evening exploring a selection of rarely screened archive film about the life of Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, his buildings and how his unique architectural style influenced Glasgow in the 1800s and today. Thomson’s legacy is particularly prominent in the Southside, having completed villas, terraces, churches and urban planning projects in the area. Whilst his personal life during his most creative period also centred here, as on completion of his terrace at Moray Place Thomson also chose to relocate his family to the area.
