Singer, 11, launches Busk Stop for musicians to perform in shopping centre
It was launched by 11-year-old Rachel Ronnie at Buchanan Galleries in the city centre, following requests from other buskers wanting to perform in Glasgow.

'As well as help nurture the next generation of musical talent in our community, it also enhances the atmosphere for everyone who visits Buchanan Galleries, adding a lively and authentic musical experience for our guests. 'We were honoured to officially launch our 'Busk Stop' with an incredible performance by Rachel Ronnie, who set the tone perfectly for what we hope will be many inspiring moments to come.'
