Photographs With the Blue Nile

Paul Buchanan, Rickie, Paul Moore (PJ), and Sal Bernardi
Formed in Glasgow, Scotland, in the early 1980's by three hometown graduates, the Blue Nile comprises Paul Buchanan (singer, songwriter and guitarist), Robert Bell (bass) and Paul Joseph Moore (keyboards).

With their critically acclaimed debut album, A Walk Across The Rooftops, they revealed themselves to be poets of the ordinary, capturing in song those small moments of epiphany that lend shape and dignity to everyday lives…

Paul and Rickie

Paul Buchanan writes about their experience together as the Blue Nile…

" We just concentrate on what we do, and treat anything good that happens like a drop of water from a cactus - a source of nourishment that allows us to go on and do one more thing. It may sound ridiculous, but I still feel that whatever we've achieved, it's been with just a pocket knife and a broken guitar. If we've sent good feelings out at all, we've done so without moving emotionally from the room in which we very first started."
