About the Artist

Formed in Bellshill, Scotland, in 1989, Teenage Fanclub have consistently delivered a masterclass in melodic songwriting.

Their discography is a treasure trove of indie-rock gems, from early, more raucous efforts like 'Bandwagonesque' and 'Thirteen' to the polished brilliance of 'Grand Prix' and 'Songs from Northern Britain'. More recently, albums like 'Shadows and Realities' and 'Endless Arcade' have proven they are still at the top of their game, effortlessly weaving new material into their already stellar live sets.
