Fans queued outside Assai Records on Wednesday, January 14, to meet one of the UK’s best-loved boybands, Blue, to mark the release of their latest album, Reflections.
The group, comprised of Simon Webbe, Duncan James, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan, spent the evening meeting fans, signing copies of the album and posing for photos inside the city-centre record store, drawing a crowd of long-time supporter.

Blue rose to prominence in the early 2000s and became one of the UK’s most successful boybands, scoring a string of hit singles including All Rise, One Love and Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, a collaboration with Elton John that reached number one in 2002.

The band reunited in 2011 and have continued to record and tour together, with Reflections marking their latest studio release more than 25 years after they first formed.

The band will be playing in the iconic Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on April 27, 2026, as part of their 25th anniversary tour.
Their Glasgow appearance proved their enduring appeal, with fans braving the cold to catch a glimpse of the group and secure signed copies of the new record at the independent retailer.
Blue are back – and they are here to stay.
