Read MoreBritish synth-pop band Blancmange recently announed a UK tour to promote their latest album Wanderlust. Their dates included the likes of Leeds, Norwich, Newcastle, Edinburgh and of course, Glasgow.
If you are not familiar with the group, Blancmange came to prominence in the 1980s as a duo who included Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe, they scored a smash hit with "Living on the Ceiling" which charted not just in the UK but throughout the world, they broke up in 1986 and reformed again in 2011.
Oran Mor wasnt sold out for the evening but the people who turned up were really looking forward to seeing them perform, the vibe and atmosphere were great despite the venue not being to full capacity. Blancmange began the set with "Distant Storm", one of their many new songs from the album "Wanderlust" that they played that night, they of course played some of their greatest hits such as "Blind Vision", "Feel Me" and of course the song that got them international recognition "Living on The Ceiling", the crowd as expected were singing and dancing to the latter, Blancmange then finished their set with their 1983 release "Waves".
In the end the band did not disappoint and the whole evening was positively received by not just the crowd, but for myself personally, being a fan of the band since my youth days.
Thank you for a great night Blancmange and look forward to seeing you again in Glasgow.
