“The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles and 6 albums follow on from it. From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark &amp; Scott Morrissalongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan,before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years. Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans. 2024 will see the release of the first new Bluetones material in 14 years,and promises to be as exciting a year for the group as they’ve ever enjoyed. A renaissance that will see the four original band members take in the summer festivals before a full UK tour in the autumn/winter of 2024. “The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychadelic-tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman...The Supernaturals formed in Glasgow in 1991 and toured extensively around Scotland, initially releasing 4 mini albums on their own label. The band signed to EMI/Food in 1995 releasing the UK top 10 album “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” in 1997 and the fan favourite follow up a “Tune a Day” in 1998. The band had 7 Top 50 singles between 1996 and 1999. The band's third album, the Beach boys influenced electronica of “What We Did Last Summer” was released in 2002 on Universal records, after which the band went on a long overdue break.&amp;amp;nbsp; The band reconvened in 2012 and have released the albums “360” , “Bird of luck” and “It Only Gets Worse” in the time since. The band have also resumed their legendary live shows, most recently supporting Dodgy on their UK tour in 2023. Several of the band’s songs, the Ivor Novello nominated “Smile” and “I Wasn’t Built to Get Up” have taken on a life of their own in subsequent years, having been used in adverts and films around the world. Rod Stewart covered the band’s song “Dylan’s Day Off” in 1997.
