Brothers Patrick and Gregory Kane formed Hue and Cry in the 80’s and the duo made a hugeimpact with the release of their debut album ‘Seduced and Abandoned’ (1987) which featured their first top ten single ‘Labour of Love’. The follow up album ‘Remote’ continued the trend and produced the huge hits ‘Looking for Linda’ & ‘Violently’. Albums like ‘Stars Crash Down’, ‘Showtime’ and ‘Jazz Not Jazz’ ensured Hue and Cry’s continued successful run through the 90’s, whilst their 2005 appearances as finalistson ITV’s primetimeshow ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ ,featuring their version of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’, thrust the band firmly back into the mainstream limelight.

To date Hue and Cry have sold in excess of two million records worldwide, tens of thousands of concert tickets worldwide. As well as performing alongside some of thegreatest artists in music history-appearing with U2,James Brown, Madonna, AlGreen andVan Morrison to name but a few, the band have undertakena multitude of their own headline tours and made numerous festival appearances. Hue and Cry were recognised by their peers when they were recently presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Scottish Music Awards.The bandare currently working on a brand new album and have made a welcome return to performing in front of audiences in both their stripped back setting and full band shows. Join us this October for an intimate evening with Hue & Cry.
