Del Amitri are a British pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1982. The band grew out of Justin Currie's Jordanhill College School band and came together after the teenaged Currie placed an advert in the window of a music store asking for people who could play to contact him. The band was formed with the original line-up of Currie (bass and vocals), Iain Harvie (lead guitar), Bryan Tolland (guitar) and Paul Tyagi (drums). Currie and Harvie were the only members of the band to remain present throughout its history ? they were also the main songwriters of the group. History There have been many suggestions as to what the band's name really means. The liner notes of one album state: "...but if you ask us what the name means - expect violence", strongly suggesting that the band have long since tired of this question. "del Amitri" is often reported as being Greek for "from the womb", but this is not correct. Another story
