Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake

Stuart Maconie presents solo and is joined by musician Norman Blake from Scottish indie rockers Teenage Fanclub.

Stuart Maconie presents solo, with musician Norman Blake from Scottish indie rockers Teenage Fanclub. Formed in Bellshill in 1989, the band comprises Norman Blake (vocals, guitar), Raymond McGinley (vocals, lead guitar), Gerard Love (vocals, bass), Francis MacDonald (drums) and Dave McGowan (keyboards), with songwriting duties shared equally among Blake, McGinley and Love. In concert, the band usually alternate among the three songwriters (who all sing lead vocals on their own songs) giving equal playing time to each one's songs. Although often pegged as alternative rock, the group have incorporated a wide variety of elements from various music styles in their songs. Teenage Fanclub have had a succession of drummers, including Francis MacDonald, Brendan O'Hare and Paul Quinn, who was later replaced by the returning Francis MacDonald. Keyboardist Finlay MacDonald (no relation) has also been a member. Norman joins the show all the way from his home in Canada to chat about their latest album.

Plus you could possibly gain victory during Teatime Themetime or try your chances on The Chain, where you yes YOU AT THE BACK might even get your voice on the actual 6 Music DABwaves!
