Blueboy initially consisted of Keith Girdler (vocals) and Paul Stewart (guitars), formerly of little-known band Feverfew. They soon signed to Sarah Records, releasing the single Clearer in 1991, and soon took on more members, including singer/cellist Gemma Townley and second guitarist Harvey Williams (of The Field Mice/Another Sunny Day). Clearer was followed by several singles and two LPs on Sarah, If Wishes Were Horses and Unisex. In October 1994, Blueboy recorded a session for John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 show. Their final release, The Bank of England, was released in 1998 on Sarah boss Matt Haynes’ new label, Shinkansen Records; by then, Girdler and Stewart were the only original members of the band. Girdler and Stewart were also involved in two other bands, Arabesque and Beaumont. Townley later joined Trembling Blue Stars, as did Williams.

Blueboy’s songwriting touches on the timeless indie-pop motifs of intimacy and vulnerability, with a modicum of sexual ambiguity, both in lyrics and cover artwork. Their sound combines the jangly guitar-based pop sound of their genre with elements of bossa nova and shoegazer.

On May 15, 2007, Keith Girdler died after being diagnosed with cancer in 2004. Prior to his death he was working as Volunteer Manager for Age Concern Eastbourne.

Blue Boy was also an AMAZING Calypso/Soca artist, but I've never heard stuff that wasn't from compilations. Any extra info about him would be appreciated.

The album covers show the band as Blueboy. There is an album, by another artist, called Blue Boy.
