- Belle and Sebastian was formed in 1996, currently consisting of Stuart Murdoch (vocals, electric and acoustic guitar), Stevie Jackson (vocals, electric and acoustic guitar), Chris Geddes (keyboards), Richard Colburn (drums), Sarah Martin (keyboards), Bobby Kildea (guitar) and Dave McGowan (bass).
The band has released 9 studio albums, two compilation albums, two live albums, six extended plays (EPs), twelve chart singles and one DVD to date.
The band received an 'Outstanding Contribution To Music Award' at the NME Awards 2014.
At that time, singer Stuart Murdoch said: “I do get an inkling that we were sort of an inspiration to certain groups, but you’d never like to claim that you’re responsible for the upturn in fortunes of an entire city. Glasgow has certainly come up, and you can be cynical about the fact that everyone’s carrying guitars around, but I like that you can be in Central Station and look around you and you’re surrounded by kids who are holding guitar cases on a Friday night.” - source : Rolling Stone
