Hue And Cry - Episode #41 - Interview with Pat & Greg Kane

This episode features the brilliant Hue and Cry who for are a Scottish pop duo formed in 1983 in Coatbridge by the brothers Pat Kane and Greg Kane. The duo are best known for their 1987 single "Labour of Love" which spent 16 weeks on the UK chart.

They mix soul, jazz, politics and sophisticated pop quite like Hue and arrived during an era dominated by polished pop and indie guitar music — yet somehow carved out a sound that blended Marvin Gaye-style soul, jazz improvisation, working-class politics and sophisticated songwriting.

many of our listeners may know them for “Labour of Love”, but the real story is far richer: jazz collaborations with world-class musicians, political activism, adventurous albums that confused record labels, and a fiercely loyal live audience that has stayed with them for more than four decades.

They have recently released their new album Everybody and this episode covers their whole career right up to and including their new album. Their website is on the link below:-
