The Bluebells
From the same new Scottish pop scene that begat Aztec Camera came
The Bluebells - a bookish-looking quintet of Merseybeat
revisionists.
Their self-titled debut mini-album (1983) was full of crisp,
effervescent guitars and glistening harmonies, proving that The
Bluebells had a charming way with 1960s pop lingo.
Against the odds, the group also turned Brendan Behan's Irish
lament, Patriots Game, into Rubber Soul with a
social conscience, softening the song's sorrowful waltz rhythm
with a light acoustic guitar backdrop and subtle pings of piano.
The single Young At Heart (1984) was written by
Bobby Hodgens and Siobhan Fahey (of Bananarama and Shakespears
Sister fame). The song returned to the charts in 1993 after it was
used in a TV commercial advertising cars.
