The Bluebells are a Scottish indie new wave band who were first active between 1981 and 1986 and have since then reformed a number of times. The band first split up in the mid-1980s, but enjoyed an unexpected revival in 1993 when ‘Young At Heart’ was used in a Volkswagen television advertisement. Re-issued as a single, it was No. 1 for four weeks and led to the band reforming temporarily to perform the song on BBC Television’s Top of the Pops.
The band have reformed again a number of times since 2008 and most recently released ‘In the 21st Century’, an album of new material in 2023.
