Glasgow indie band formed in 1983. They recorded one single 'Dreaming' in 1983 at Glasgow's famous [l=Park Lane Studios]. The single was released in 1984 with a limited pressing of 1000. The single did not sell well due to lack of promotion and the bands 'untogetherness'. There are purported to be around 400 copies of the record in circulation. According to [a=Martin Cotter] of the band, a few years after the band split he threw 10 or so boxes of unsold records in a skip whilst moving house.

Before The Bachelor Pad, there was The Wee Cherubs. A collection of lost recordings made in Glasgow between 1982 and 1985. Restored and remastered especially for this release. Formed in 1982 by Martin Cotter, Christine Gibson and Graham Adam and part of the Glasgow indie scene of the early 80's The Wee Cherubs only released one single, (<i>Dreaming</i>, which is included in this set), before calling it a day in 1985. Their range of influences are on show here, and although some tracks are redolent of Orange Juice and Aztec Camera there is no definitive Wee Cherubs sound, which makes this collection an exciting and rewarding discovery
