Gourock Outdoor Pool featured on cover of ninth studio album from Britpop band Blur
GOUROCK's iconic outdoor pool is set to feature on the cover of legendary Britpop band Blur's next album.
The band have chosen a snap of the local lido as the artwork for their ninth album ‘The Ballad Of Darren’.
The picture was captured by British photographer Martin Parr in 2004 and shows a lone man, Ian Galt swimming in the popular pool.
He was unaware the photo being taken, and found out about it years later, when a friend saw it in an exhibition in Glasgow.
The band announced details of the album, which will be their first new music in eight years, earlier today (May 18) alongside a single ‘The Narcissist’.
