Saramago presents Teenage Fanclub + Special Guests - SOLD OUT

Saramago proudly presents Teenage Fanclub, performing in the intimate setting of CCA for the first time.

The band toured the USA and UK in late 2016, following the release of their album Here on their own label PeMa, with the album receiving critical acclaim across the board.

Here is the the effortless work of a band entirely confident in their own craft - the consolidation of nearly three decades of peerless songwriting and almost telepathic musicianship amongst the band's three founder members: Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love. Recorded with the band’s soundman David Henderson alongside regular drummer Francis Macdonald and keyboard player Dave McGowan in three distinctly different environments (initially at Vega in rural Provence, then at Raymond’s home in Glasgow before mixing at Clouds Hill in the industrial heart of Hamburg), it’s a record that embraces maturity and experience and hugs them close.

As ever, song-wise the Fanclub present a textbook representation of democracy in action, the record offering four each by Blake, Love and McGinley. From the almighty chime of opener 'I’m In Love' through 'The First Sight’s ecstatic soul-search and the paean to unerring friendship 'With You', 'Here' is a a collection of twelve songs about the only things that truly matter - life and love.
