Radio Sweethearts

Radio Sweethearts was a Glasgow-based alternative country-rock band comprised of Frank Macdonald (who drums for BMX Bandits), vocalist/guitarist John Miller, fiddler John McCusker and pedal steel guitarist Malcolm McMaster. The group released their Kim Fowley-produced debut, New Memories, in early 1997 and a follow up, Lonesome Blue, in 2000.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played some tracks from the band's debut album in late 1997 and their follow up in 2000 on his radio programmes. Impressed by their material, he invited the group to do a session for his show, where they recorded five tracks in 2000. He nominated their album, 'Lonesome Blue', as one of his records of the month for May 2000 (Peel's Record Box) and included their track, 'Real Ghost Town', to the Sounds Of The Suburbs soundtrack.
