Since then their appeal across generations has over the years seen them enjoy huge success across the globe.
The Proclaimers have carved out a niche for themselves in the netherworld where pop, folk, new wave and punk collide.
In the process, they have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
They inspired a musical, the play and film Sunshine on Leith. The movie was the fifth highest grossing Independent UK film of 2013. The musical had its fourth UK run from April to June in 2018 with its biggest production to date by West Yorkshire Playhouse.
On BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island discs, actor David Tennant described his first track by The Proclaimers. He said: "I could have chosen any and every track from this band, probably my favourite band of all time. They write the most spectacular songs, big hearted, uncynical passionate songs."
Their 2018 album Angry Cyclist was released to immense acclaim, becoming their 8th UK Top 40 album debuting in the UK Official Album charts at 17 and at number 3 in the UK Official Independent Album Charts.
The Proclaimers released their twelfth studio album ‘Dentures out’ in September 2022.
Tickets go on sale Friday February 17 at 9am via www.ticketmaster.ie.
