Orange Juice Reform

by Paul Cashmere - October 27 2008

The members of Scottish 70s and 80s band Orange Juice are getting back together.

Orange Juice featured lead singer Edwyn Collins who had his own hit in the 90s with ‘A Girl Like You’.

In 2005, Collins nearly died from a brain hemorrhage.

Orange Juice broke up in 1985 after what the band describe internally as a “roller coaster ride”.

They were best known for the hit song ‘Rip It Up’ in 1983.

After the break-up, Collins had the successful solo career.

Guitarist James Kirk became a chiropodist in Glasgow, drummer Steven Daly became a journalist for Vanity Fair and lives in New York while bass player David McClymont moved to Melbourne, Australia where he writes for Lonely Planet and has played bass for Kylie Minogue.

Orange Juice will play their first show back together next month when they are honoured by Nordoff-Robbins in Scotland.
