Thursday music corner: Ocean Colour Scene are a rock band formed in Birmingham in 1989, consisting at the outset of Simon Fowler, Steve Cradock, Damon Minchella and Oscar Harrison. They first attained wider fame after being invited to tour as support to Paul Weller in 1993 and Oasis in 1995. The band achieved success as part of the Britpop boom, including scoring three top-five UK albums from 1996 to 1999. Moseley Shoals, the most successful of their albums, went triple platinum in the UK, and its successor, Marchin' Already, topped the UK album charts. Ocean Colour Scene have released 10 studio albums between 1992 and 2013, and scored 17 UK top 40 singles between 1996 and 2007. Six of the band's singles also reached the Irish top 40.
Travellers Tune was the second single (after Hundred Mile High City) from the band's third album, Marchin' Already. Released in 1997, it peaked at number five in the UK singles chart, and number 30 in Ireland. American soul singer P.P. Arnold, another frequent Paul Weller collaborator, provides guest vocals.
