About Me

"Andrew "Divine" Symington has steered Glasgow School of Art's soul, funk, reggae and jazz extravaganza, Divine, for over 15 years - rendering it Glasgow's longest-running club night - and an exigent, one-stop institution for lovers of northern soul, 60s grooves, psych-jazz, hipster Mod and Motown" (TRIPTYCH FESTIVAL 2006)
"Officially the city's, if not Scotland's, longest running clubnight" (THE METRO)
Glasgow's DIVINE! brings you a monthly dose of the greatest in northern soul, heavyweight funk, Tamla Motown, sixties freakbeat, dynamite ska, E-Z listening and psychedelic soundtracks - a unique blend of established classics and new discoveries...
Mr. Divine is constantly excavating new musical nuggets, adding gems to the Divine Sound Archive for your listening and dancing pleasure on the first Saturday of every month in the Glasgow School of Art's Vic Bar. Over these past 17 years DIVINE! has consistently brought great music and fantastic guests to Glasgow's shores.
