Four albums in 23 years is not what you could call a prolific career. But for Paul Buchanan his slow perfectionism is justified whenever fans fall

silent and cross themselves at the mention of The Blue Nile.

Ambient pop sophisticates with a penchant for windswept urban folk, The Blue Nile were formed in the late-Seventies by three Glasgow graduates.

Fronted by Buchanan, whose subdued strains prompted comparison to Peter Gabriel, they were signed by Linn Products, a Scottish manufacturer of upmarket turntables who'd been sent sample tapes with which to practise cutting techniques.

As Buchanan once put it, "Linn wasn't a record company and we weren't a band".

Often referred to as 4am songs, The Blue Nile's forlornly romantic pop, with its odd, synthesised arrangements, has been covered by artists as diverse as Tom Jones and Mel C.

Buchanan's current solo shows feature the ambient folk and electronic pop from Blue Nile's back catalogue, along with some covers and new solo material.
