General notes:
The Rouken Glen Entertainers regularly performed from the early 1900s until after the First World War with a programme of songs and performers such as William Menzies, a young Blantyre miner who was a conjurer and ventriloquist. The park also had a concert hall which could seat 700. Normally an entrance ticket cost three or six pence but apparently passengers on Paisley cars could request Promenade tickets free.
