All I can say is I hope you have a lifejacket!
The Blue Nile are not best played as single tracks until you know the style. Me, I'd go for some plays of "Happiness". That'd show everyone, Bill. :-)

I think I'd jump into the Blue (shurely 'muddy brown'? Ed) Nile to escape this guy's voice, which to these ears is both tedious and grating. That would be peace at last. A shame, as I'm usually a big fan of Scottish artistes (with the exception of Rod Stewart). 2 from the Nottingham jury.

Yes please, more Blue Nile!
I've loved the Blue Nile ever since I discovered them when I was working in Edinburgh.
These are two of their best songs:
Tinseltown in the Rain, from their first CD: A Walk Across the Rooftops
The Downtown Lights, from their second CD: Hats

Love the voice. I think I've got a record from this group way back in my old LP collection.

Saw them some moons ago 'open' the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Felt a bit weird sitting at a gig, but, was a real 'hi-fi' performance. These guys compliment the quality and range we get on this here station  |

This is really lovely music. I'm ashamed to say that although they come from around twenty miles away, I've heard very little of their stuff  |

The singer has one of the most heart-felt voices. Touching.

The Blue Nile is one of my favorites, a friend introduced me to them about 5 years ago. I recognized the singer immediately. Thanks Bill, for playing obscure (in the U.S.) music.

Coincidentally, I just finished listening to Hats. I too will cast my vote for more The Blue Nile on RP. |

I can't believe RP doesn't play "downtown lights"... damn that is just WRONG, that is a excellent song. |

Never been a major Blue Nile fan, but I like them and am really surprised that Bill doesn't include more from these guys - seems like they are a perfect fit! |

He sounds like a cross between Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake. A very nice mix.
