Belle And Sebastian live appearances

Belle And Sebastian are to make two special live appearances to promote their new single 'Funny Little Frog'.

The track will be released on January 16, and on the same day the band will be making appearances at Virgin Records in Edinburgh's Princes Street at 12.30pm, followed by a stint in the Glasgow Buchanan Street branch at 5.30pm the same day.
