Glasgow
To celebrate the launch of Gaydio on DAB across Glasgow, we sent Chris Blackmore to check out everything LGBTQ+ people can get up to in the city, all a stone's throw from the Hilton Glasgow.
A Glaswegian icon for 30 years, Hilton Glasgow is ideally located to provide you with the perfect base to explore the city.

While out and about in the city, Chris checked out the local nightlife and spoke to Katie, who moved to Glasgow from America 5 years ago, about what you can get up to when the sun sets and what it's like to be an LGBTQ+ person living in Glasgow
Chris also spoke to Ross who works at Katie's Bar to find out more about LGBTQ+ nightlife in Glasgow
And of course, we couldn't visit a city without finding out about one of the biggest days of the year for LGBTQ+ people, Chris caught up with Euan from Glasgow's Pride to see what we can expect from Mardi Gla this year
