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 that came later, the likes of Big Country, Simple Minds etc. The original members first came together in Pete Agnews band The Shadettes in 1968 and changed the name to ZARARETH in 1970. They toured with Deep Purple in the early 70s where they met Roger Glover who produced their breakthrough album Razamanaz in 1973 that included the hits Broken Down Angel and Bad Bad Boy. The album was followed by Loud n Proud later the same year featuring the single This Flight Tonight which became a massive hit throughout Europe and send the band to number 1 in Germany. It was also a huge hit in Canada where the band became the first foreign band to do a coast-to-coast tour of the country that wasnt just part of a North America tour.
