Hue and Cry lyrics in everyday situations

Quite often I get a random Hue and Cry lyric popping into my head. In particular it's whenever I go to pay for something online or go to a cash machine.....

"I've got the card, delivers the goods".

It happens quite lot. Anyone else get H&C lyrics in unexpected places?

Still whipping' up Storms

Throughout my meagre existence upon terra infirma my love of music has helped propel away the boundaries of my self proclaimed average status. Such a personal connection is made by us all to the vast enjoyment music brings to life.

For me there have been many standout moments, diarised in memory by a particular song. So much so that in recent years I have noted to myself a favourite for each year that seems to whistle by.

Back in the day there was no such need for such a pragmatic… Continue

Tale of a new/prodigal fan

Howdy all,



I've been lurking too long around here without writing a few words by way of telling Pat and Greg, and the Hue and Cry Music Club, how I found my way here and how much I appreciate the music.



I'm an American who spent a year studying in Aberdeen in 1990-1. My proper uni studies fell to pieces there (I picked them up later, you'll be relieved to hear, so am now properly overeducated and underemployed like most folks my age), but my studies in Scottish Appreciation…

Did Hue and Cry play the Royal Albert Hall?

My wife reminded me recently that we saw Hue and Cry at the Royal Albert Hall many years ago and I had completely forgotten about it. Did this really happen or is it a false memory? 

Also I thought there used to be links to all the really old gigs which you could comment on but I couldn't find them. Has it been taken off?

Hamilton Platinum Tickets in the Bag

Having already seen the guy's at Darwin on the Stripped Tour, I felt the compelling need to get the full experiance with a full supporting band.

It's only fair to treat yourself (plus wife) every now and again, as you only live once.

Great atmosphere

It most definitely did live up to my expectations!

Linda and I arrived very early (me not reading the ticket info correctly) and were lucky enough to catch Pat and Greg before the set. They both looked very casual and relaxed. After the guys had signed a photo for us, we decided to go to the Wetherspoons over the road from the theatre…

Thanks very big - (as the wife would say).

Hey Pat & Greg,

I thought I would take the chance to drop you a line and thank you guys for saving my life.

Well ok, that is a slight exaggeration but it felt like it at the time, several times in fact.

The power of music eh?

This is a rhetorical message so don’t worry I don’t expect an answer and if you don’t read it or even receive it, never mind, it’s more for my benefit than anything else.

I was born and brought up in Glasgow. I have worked abroad…
