'Young At Heart' w/ Ken McCluskey (The Bluebells)

How do you sell over a million records and court controversey with the Pope? Ken Mccluskey of The Bluebells explains all . Their omnipresent hit 'Young At Heart' is played at every wedding, karaoke and supermarket your ears graze . We talk about teh hastily assembled band that played Top of the Pops 5 weeks in a row after a sudden rise of popularity in the classic, 7 years after it's initial release, following a car advert. We discuss their new sunny yet political album 'This is the... Bluebellls' and his 'biggest ever gig' at Kelvingrove Bandstand on August 15th. We also chat about getting stage fright in Minneapolis , artists duty to combat the rise of the far right, being hungover onstage, being an educator at Stow college,  playing the Barras for Soapyfest and much, much more.
