Edwyn Collins has been a much-loved doyen of literate Scottish pop since his earliest Postcard hits with Orange Juice in the 1980s, later followed by the international smash A Girl Like You in 1995. This homecoming show follows his rapturously received sixth solo release Home Again – “a richly textured, folk-influenced album in which Collins’s lyrical genius shines as hard as ever” (Guardian) – and his triumphant return to the live arena in 2007-8, after recovering from a severe brain haemorrhage in 2005.
Opening the show will be a rare live reunion of the short-lived but fondly remembered Bluebells – best known for the irresistibly catchy Young At Heart – featuring original members Bobby Bluebell (aka Robert Hodgens), and David and Ken McCluskey.
Over 14s only, under 16s with an adult.
