FRETS CONCERTS

FRETS is delighted to be presenting an acoustic concert by THE BLUEBELLS on Friday 23rd April, 2021, in the Strathaven Hotel.

I saw the Bluebells many times over the years, from their early Postcard Records period through to their chart-topping period. They were always about songs (as recognised by their producer Elvis Costello), with melodic touchstones like The Monkees, The Lovin’ Spoonful, The Byrds, being complimented by the Bluebells’ roots in punk (The Clash, Buzzcocks, The Undertones).

The Bluebells’ debut album, Sisters, is being reissued on the Past Night From Glasgow label, and the timing feels right for a new appreciation of the group. We can’t wait to see them perform in acoustic mode within the seated intimate concert environs of the Strathaven Hotel, it’ll be special.
