Bellshill, Glasgow, United Kingdom (1989 – present)
Teenage Fanclub are a jangle pop/power pop band from Bellshill, Scotland near Glasgow, formed in 1989, and were formerly known as The Boy Hairdressers. They have two generally known humorous nicknames “The Fannies” and “The Bellshill Beach Boys”
Teenage Fanclub are revered by power-pop fans for their devotion to chiming, Byrds-esque guitars and harmony vocals. Songwriting duties are shared between the three permanent members of the group:
* Norman Blake,
* Raymond McGinley, and
* Gerard Love.
In 2006, the band held two special concerts (in London and Glasgow) playing their 1991 masterpiece Bandwagonesque in its entirety.
There have been a succession of drummers, including:
* Francis MacDonald (a prime-mover in the C86 scene, later of the BMX Bandits), the drummer in the original lineup, and in a later period
* Brendan O’Hare (later of Telstar Ponies, Thrapple , Mogwai and Macrocosmica)
and
* Paul Quinn (later of The Primary 5), who was later replaced by the returning Francis MacDonald.
Keyboardist Finlay MacDonald (no relation to Francis MacDonald) has also been a member.
