AC/DC exhibition to open in Scotland

For the first time ever the band approved exhibition has left Australia & moved to Scotland.

Exhibit curator Tim Fisher said of move:

"There's so many connections with Glasgow and Scotland and when I was putting the exhibition together in Australia I kept finding material about it."

He goes on:

"One of my bits of research was to go see AC/DC at Hampden Park a couple of years ago, and when I was here, I came to see the people at Kelvingrove and that’s how it all came about."

Founding band members Angus & Malcom Young were both born in Glasgow as was former AC/DC frontman, the late great Bon Scott, who was from Kirriemuir.

Amongst the 450 items on show at the exhibit are a leather jacket which belonged to Scott, handwritten lyrics to Highway to Hell, a prototype of Angus Young's signature schoolboy outfit, custom made guitars, over two hours of songs and interviews and a postcode sent by Bon Scott to his late mother while on tour in Germany in 1976.

'AC/DC Scotland's Family Jewels' opens on Saturday 17 September and runs until February 2012.
