Now in its third year, Checkout Scotland has firmly established itself as one of the most enjoyable and unique nights in the Scottish local retailing calendar. Organised by the GroceryAid Scotland committee, the latest staging of the event saw a stellar cast of stars entertaining a packed audience of retailers, wholesalers and more.
Heading the line-up was former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, ably supported by the high energy antics of Dundee’s own The View while George Bowie, DJ Naeem and Jim Harper were among those keeping the dancefloor mobbed on what was a truly fantastic evening.
Checkout Scotland provides a rare opportunity for the trade to gather, let their hair down and enjoy some great music and a few drinks in the atmospheric setting of Barras Art & Design in Glasgow.
Just as importantly, the event provides a powerful way of raising awareness of the outstanding work that GroceryAid does for industry colleagues, providing financial, emotional and practical support – all free of charge and in complete confidence.
And, as you can see from the photos, a good time was undoubtedly had by all!
