the Blue Nile

The Blue Nile were a Scottish band which originated in 1981 in Glasgow . The group's early music was built heavily on synthesizers and electronic instrumentation and percussion, although later works featured guitar more prominently. Following early championing by established artists such as Rickie Lee Jones and Peter Gabriel (the band later worked with both acts), the Blue Nile gained critical acclaim, particularly for their first two albums A Walk Across the Rooftops and Hats , and some commercial success in both the UK and the US, which led to the band working with a wide range of musicians from the late 1980s onwards.
