Ruby Blue

Apie Ruby Blue

Formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1986 by Massachusetts-born drama student Rebecca Pidgeon (raised from five years old in Edinburgh) – on vocals – and guitarist Roger Fife. Completing the duo with George Jeffrey (drums), Alec Kane and Martin Pavey (additional guitarists), the group released their debut album, Glances Askances (1987) on Dave Kitson’s Red Flame imprint. A fresh, spontaneous combination of pop, folk and jazz, the record showcased Pidgeon’s high, purist-folk vocals (shades of Anne Briggs and Sandy Denny) which brought a traditional feel to the proceedings.
