Gab 40. Creative Event in Glasgow.

Friday night saw us host our 40th Gab creative & design event at Barras Art & Design in Glasgow - and what a night it was.

First up, we were treated to a high energy talk from Dines of London's Studio Blup, who talked about his journey in design. It was great to have the Blup team in Glasgow, and we enjoyed also getting to meet co-founder Alex too.

Next up we had recent graduates Orla, Columba and Lucy who did themselves proud, with a great talk about their experience as they look to enter the design industry fresh from art school.

Ed from London animation studio Animade gave us a great insight into their approach to creativity. We've been huge fans of their work for a long time so it was a treat to have them along to the event.

Closing the event, the one and only Hugh Reed and the Velvet underpants who entertained and terrorised the Gab audience in equal measure. So good!

A huge thanks goes out to our pal Lisa Henderson who was a great host. Thanks to Caroline for doing the door, the talented Eoin Carey for lending us his photography skills, and the whole team at BAaD for making us welcome - especially Gordon for his sound skills. 

When we started this little event series almost 12 years ago we certainly didn't think it would still be going for 40 events, which have seen Gab pop up at venues across Glasgow. The only reason this has been possible is because of the support of everyone who has grabbed a ticket for any and all of the events. We appreciate it a lot, and it's this continued enthusiasm that motivates us to keep putting them on. So hopefully we'll be back for a few more next year.
