Nazareth

Nazareth is without doubt the biggest rock band to emerge from Scotland.
They were The Pioneers who took Scottish Rock international and paved the way for many other great Scottish bands. The original members first came together in Pete Agnew’s band “The Shadettes” in 1968 and changed the name to Nazareth in 1970.

Their breakthrough album Razamanaz was produced in 1973 that included the hits Broken Down Angel and Bad Bad Boy. To album was followed by Loud N’ Proud later the same year featuring the single This Fight Tonight which became a massive hit throughout Europe and sent the band to number one in Germany. It was also a huge hits in Canada where the band became the first foreign bands to do a coast to coast tour of the country.

Then came Rampant and the massive tour in support of its release seeing the band play 50 shows in 9 countries throughout Europe and Scandinavia. The tour was quickly followed by the release of the single My White Bicycle which gave them another chart hit in the UK and Germany.

The classic album that brought them American success and international acclaim was the next one, “Hair of The Dog” and its title track became a staple of Rock Radio throughout the world.
The American version of the album contained the beautiful “LOVE HURTS” which still set the standard for a rock ballad vocal to this day.

From 1971 till now Nazareth have recorded 23 studio albums, earning them platinum, gold and silver awards throughout the world with 3 platinum and 8 gold albums coming from Canada alone.
