Del Amitri mainstays Iain Harvie and Justin Currie remember the good old days, when a Glasgow indie band “who never really cut it as Orange Juice and Josef K copyists” became, in effect, overnight successes. Suddenly, after a critically-acclaimed but still-born first album (1985’s Del Amitri, being re-issued this year), with 1989’s Waking Hours, the hit single ‘Nothing Ever Happens’ saw them sharing a Top of the Pops stage with Phil Collins, then in the imperial phase of his solo career, newcomer Sinead O’Connor singing 'Nothing Compares 2 U', and the premiere of Public Enemy’s ‘Welcome to the Terrordome’ video. Two years later, Del Amitri were still regulars on the nation's favourite chart show. Promoting 1992 hit 'Always The Last to Know', the band appeared on an episode alongside an En Vogue video ('My Lovin'), Shakespear's Sister ('I Don't Care') and, performing smash US hit 'Jump', adolescent rap duo Kriss Kross, they of the backwards-jeans.
