Sydney Devine

Sydney Devine

Sydney Devine (born Cleland, Lanarkshire 1940) is Scotland's very own rhinestone cowboy, a singer whose career began with a television appearance in 1953 at the age of thirteen, developed during eight years touring with the White Heather Group. When visiting Hawaii with Andy Stewart's band, he heard the Hawaiian singer Don Ho perform "Tiny Bubbles"; this became Devine's signature tune and he went on to sell fifteen million albums. His record sales were revived in December 2005 when a frothy drink making machine was advertised on television using Don Ho's version of "Tiny Bubbles". YUP

He is sometimes referred to as 'Steak and Kidney', in a rather poor attempt at rhyming slang.
