At their career peak, Deacon Blue, fronted by Ricky Ross were one of the most commercially successful British bands of the time. By 1991 the then six-piece notched up 18 top 40 hit singles and five top 5 albums in the UK.

Last year’s highly charting ‘Singles’ collection album featured songs such as their first number 1, ‘Dignity’, and ‘Real Gone Kid’ – as well as three brand new tracks.

Deacon Blue will play the following venues later this year:
