On this day, 1 July 2001, Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian played Cardiff St David’s Hall.
Formed in Glasgow in 1996. Led by Stuart Murdoch, the band has released eleven albums.
They are often compared with acts such as The Smiths and Nick Drake.
The name "Belle and Sebastian" comes from Belle et Sébastien, a 1965 children's book by French writer Cécile Aubry later adapted for television.
The "Jonathan David" single, sung by Stevie Jackson, was released in June 2001 and was followed by "I'm Waking Up to Us" in November, which saw the band use an outside producer (Mike Hurst) for the first time.
