It’s the news every Scot’s been waiting for: the line-up for Glasgow’s official Hogmanay celebrations. And the big attractions are…. Deacon Blue and Hue & Cry.
And people wonder why Glaswegians get drunk at New Year.

The one’s a one-hit wonder I vaguely remember, but Hue & Cry? Is that the merger of the relics of Huey Louis and the News, and Tears for Fears?
I saw Hue & Cry on the telly not long ago. I was singing along to song I vaguely remembered and realised who it was. I do still love Deacon Blue though, reminds me of the good old days before children and bills.
Indeed. Why aren’t Simple Minds playing?

Oh no, much worse than that. “Looking for Linda” was their big hit. It was pretty appalling.

They brought out a new album last month. Nobody bought it.
What about Labour of Love, that’s the song I remember! (I think)
I’d suppressed the memory of that one :)
Violently was the only decent thing they did. I’m sure they won some reality TV thing.
I think my problem with them is a deep and irrational hatred of Pat Kane. I get this a lot: see also Sharleen Spiteri.
