Travel back to a time when live music filled Grangemouth town centre

Believe it or not it has been less than a decade since the Grangemouth Music Festival last saw talented local acts deliver rocking sets from the town’s bandstand.

The last festival took place in 2011, but it seems like 1911, due to the effect the current COVID-19 pandemic has had on live music in general.

Take a look at these photos and remember a time when we could enjoy music without tuning into a Facebook or YouTube live stream.
