It was my friend Malcolm's band who were playing. Another friend of mine spoke to him yesterday morning and he is OK (as are the rest of the band). None of them knew what was going on until they all got out. When we heard from him there weren't any known fatalities. Different now of course.
It's an absolute and utter miracle the casualties were as low as they were. The Clutha is a tiny place and was jam packed by all accounts. If the helicoptor had exploded...well, it doesn't bear thinking about.
