Around a week ago I was hmv in Inverness where they played a song which I've had stuck in my head ever since. They seemed to be playing mostly 80s songs so I'm assuming its from around then. It's about 120 bpm and sounded a bit like an indie type band, with a good guitarist... The verse chord changes were quite unusual I thought, and the chorus was mainly a lead guitar part which sounded almost Celtic.

It might have had the words hill or mountain in the chorus as well,but I couldn't really hear the words

Help!

Fook me.

If that ends up being identified from the info above, we should sack Scotland Yard and just employ the PH crew!

(No disrespect intended to the OP, I realise you can only work with the info you’ve got.)

That's the best I can do! I did try whistling the chorus to Shazam but to no avail...

My first thought was Gary Moore, Over the hills and far away.

Awful 80s video but a great song.
