ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Bluebells

The Bluebells formed in Glasgow around musicians including Ken and David McCluskey and songwriter Robert Hodgens, also known as Bobby Bluebell. Their guitar-based pop emerged from the city's early-1980s independent music scene. Young at Heart gained a second commercial life when a 1993 reissue followed its use in a car advertisement.
