…and here’s the brilliant and insistent ‘We’re Interested’ by Fini Tribe in which my quoted line in the previous post appears, a song more about Edinburgh than any I can think of.

The Union Canal is a bloodline that courses through that band’s early history in Edinburgh.

Enjoy the mid-1980s Edinburgh footage in the video!

I only really know a few songs by #FiniTribe but I bought their new compilation, whilst listening to the interview on the #C86Show podcast. It covers the period before half the band left and they changed into a dance act.
