Edinburgh Summer Sessions with The View, Ocean Colour Scene, and more

Ocean Colour Scene, formed in 1990 in Birmingham, mixed clever pop tunes with '60s rock vibes. Known for hits like "The Riverboat Song," they achieved success with albums like 1996's triple-platinum Moseley Shoals. Collaborated with Paul Weller and toured with Oasis, they kept British rock-fire alive post-Britpop into the 2020s.

Reverend and the Makers, hailing from Sheffield, return with "Heatwave in the Cold North," blending northern soul and tropical beats. Known for six top 20 albums and collaborations with artists like Dave Clarke, they've now evolved, with Jon McClure embarking on a musical journey from Sheffield to Kitwe, Zambia.

Embrace, formed in 1990 by Huddersfield's McNamara brothers, emerged during the late '90s post-Brit-pop era. Blending Oasis and Verve influences, they achieved UK fame with hits like "All You Good Good People" and albums such as "The Good Will Out" (1998). Known for their anthemic rock style, they signed with Hut and later Independiente, collaborating with keyboardist Mickey Dale. Their creative journey spanned multiple albums, including the chart-topping "Out of Nothing" (2004). Embrace explored new musical directions with their self-titled 2014 release and celebrated their 20th anniversary with "Love Is a Basic Need" (2018).
