Hue and Cry tour the Glasgow locations which inspired their songs

Musical eighties pop stars Hue and Cry are revisiting their roots next week for a TV special.

Coatbridge-born brothers Pat and Greg Kane talk about their past and their future with STV music journalist Nicola Meighan and uncover their musical influences, their developing styles over the years, and how they have sustained their career into its fourth decade.

The feature will be shown on What’s on Scotland on May 24 and will see the duo visit Central Station and Glasgow Uni.

BBC Scotland is kicking off a 90s season this weekend

They visit Glasgow Central Station, where their iconic hit Looking for Linda was conceived, and explain the station’s pivotal role in the band’s early music and even its original name. 

Pat and Greg also go back to Glasgow University’s Queen Margaret Union where they performed some of their earliest concerts as a chart-topping band, where they saw of their favourite gigs of all time and, of course, where Pat spent some time as the University’s Lord Rector. 

Finally, at the nearby Kelvingrove Bandstand, they look forward to this summer’s full-band concert – which will feature Pat’s own daughter - and reveal how they see their music in the future.

You can tune in on STV at 8pm on May 24.
