For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to Greg and Pat Kane, better known as Scottish musical legends Hue And Cry, to hear all about their 40th anniversary celebrations which will be happening throughout 2024.
As part of those celebrations they are releasing demos and rarities every month, as well as producing a documentary and other archival material, before undertaking a full-band tour later in the year.
The two talk about what it feels like to be making music together for four decades and the ups and downs along the way, how it all began, the surprises thrown up from their archive, their relationship with the music press, how they work together, the unforgettable memories, as well as explaining that it's always been a family affair - and there's so much more...
They also discuss who they listen to and admire among the up-and-coming Scottish musicians, and why they think the country's music scene is in a healthy state, something which should be celebrated far and wide - an attitude with which SWH! agrees heartily.
This was a really special conversation with a band of brothers who have proven to be not only survivors, but thrivers, and you get the feeling that in their 40th year they feel they are just getting started.
