Deacon Blue will play an intimate gig this autumn to raise money for a southside bar's vital roof funds.
The Scottish pop rock heroes will perform an acoustic set in front of 120 fans at The Glad Cafe to support their Raise The Roof campaign on Sunday September 15.
The Shawlands venue announced the show on Facebook, adding: "We're forever indebted to Deacon Blue for this gracious act of kindness and their solidarity with the grassroots music scene in Scotland."

The Glad Cafe and their neighbours are scrambling to raise £40,000 to fix their "wrecked and leaky" roofs, stonework and guttering of their Pollokshaws Road building – and they hope to receive further grants to cover half the refurbishment costs.
Tickets go on sale on Tuesday May 7 for £100 each through MusicGlue. Not cheap, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime show for a good cause!

Former in 1985, Deacon Blue is one of Glasgow's most famous and successful bands.
They last year celebrated their 30th anniversary with an arena tour – culminating in their biggest ever headline show at the Hydro.
