I would agree with Belle & Sebastian and have seen them several times now. I love their perspective of Glasgow. Some think it's twee, or seen through rose-tinted spectacles, but I think it's just my kind of indie-nostalgia. Belle & Sebastian are to Glasgow what Amelie is to Paris. I'm also besotted with Isobel Campbell, she will always be Belle to me.

Not sure I could pick just 1 favourite as there's too many that I like. The main ones that spring to mind are;

Idlewild (and Roddy's solo work)

Runrig (and Brian Hurren's solo album)

Martyn Bennett

Mark Knopfler

Biffy Clyro

There's probably others that will come to me later as well. Russ.
