Why Bandry
Built for finding people locally.
Local, not regional
Radius-filtered means you see people who can actually make it to your rehearsal, not someone hours away.
The full music chain
Studios, mixing engineers, photographers, videographers, designers. Everything to take a project from rehearsal to release.
Direct contact, always
No in-app messaging to babysit. Link up, and they reach out to you directly. Off-platform, on your terms.
The scene
Glasgow has the depth.
A celebrated scene
From Mogwai to Franz Ferdinand, Glasgow exports world-class talent. Find collaborators by role and radius.

On the ground
Where Glasgow plays.
A quick map of the Glasgow scene: the indie-reachable rooms and the shops that keep it running. Bandry connects you to the players who fill them, and the Resources tab pins the rest near you.

Finding musicians in Glasgow
How do I find musicians in Glasgow?
Post what you're looking for on Bandry's Glasgow bulletin and set your reach to local. Musicians within your radius see it, and when someone's interested they link up, sharing their contact info so you can reach out directly and take it off-platform. No DMs and no inbox to manage.
Is Bandry free to use in Glasgow?
Reading the Glasgow bulletin and endorsing posts are free forever. Posting your own ad and linking up run on a subscription, $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, after a 14-day free trial of everything. Bandry never takes a cut of any gig or arrangement you work out.
What kinds of musicians and pros are on Bandry in Glasgow?
All of them: drummers, guitarists, bassists, singers, and keyboard players, plus producers, mixing and mastering engineers, photographers, videographers, designers, and studios. Glasgow's scene runs deep, and role-based posts cover the whole chain from forming a band to finishing a record.
How close are the Glasgow musicians Bandry shows me?
As close as you set. Bandry's local posts are radius-gated on both sides, so you only see people who can realistically make it to a rehearsal or session, whether that's across Glasgow or out into the rest of Scotland.
