Best Band Scotland has ever produced, and I dont care if this offends other bands or fans of them, Deacon rule and every album is a class act. Me and a mate introduced Deacon Blue to Magaluf in 89' and all the DJ's wanted to buy our copy of Raintown. Brilliant music.!!!
Remember working on Copeland road stand at Ibrox stadium when they where doing it up and the view ! was almost exactly like the cover of the raintown album ! Then would get back to Edinburgh roll a J and listen to Raintown and When the world knows your name !! It was when Rangers signed Mourice Johnston !Couple of days before we arrived there was an interview with this labourer on tv when asked why he didn`t like catholics he just said "We just dinnae like thum!"Peace Ye`all
still love this band, not the same without ewan on bass.All their music transports me to special places and times. Have seen them many times from the barrowlands to the appolo and they still have it.thanks for the memories!!!
With Dougie Vipond's decision to quit the group in favour for a career in television, Deacon Blue split up in 1994. Five years later, the band held an unexpected reunion gig in 1999, and this led on to a new album, Walking Back Home, with the band now working on a part-time basis. The band released another album, Homesick, in 2001. Though Graeme Kelling died from cancer in 2004, the band vowed to continue in his absence.
The year 2006 saw Deacon Blue returning to the studio to record three new tracks for a Singles album - including the track "Bigger than Dynamite". The band performed at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium, as the pre-match entertainment for the Rugby League Super League Grand Final on the 14 October, and continued on to a full UK tour in November.
