Stunning, simply stunning, I'm nearly 65 and I am still in love with Deacon Blue, thank you so much for your music, you helped me create so many beautiful memories through your music, God bless xx👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏴🏴🏴
Born and raised in Glasgow, I moved abroad in 1982 and later discovered Deacon Blue when my brother gave me Raintown as a Christmas present. It's one of my favourite albums that always makes me nostalgic. I think the songs and musicians are great but Lorraine's contribution -so original and inspired- takes them to the next level and gives the band its musical edge. Love you all. Thank you so much for helping to keep me Scottish!
always reminds me of the west coast of Scotland, just a very emotional song for me about home. its just indescribable how much emotion this song evokes. I guess thats magic key to all great songs
DB - A constant in my life forever with such a catalogue of wonderful songs penned by one of this countries finest songwriters. Looking forward to Brighton in September for another fix 😊
Timeless. Both the song & the sound. A 'real' band that can sing & play instruments guitar & synth after 36 years since this songs release. Can Simon Cowell's Karaoke Singer Brigade that has wrecked the artistry in making music stand that test of time. No they are lucky to last 36 days until they disappear. He has a lot to answer for that man. Deacon Blue, Ricky & Lorraine are a class act who have always been fabulous live. Still writing great songs. Legends in the true sense of the word. Cheers for the memories guys. I was 15 in 87, now 51
Deacon blue is an amazing band , who many people don't realise had many hits and at one time competed with the very best, knocking Madonna off the top of the charts. Dignity, chocolate girl, real gone kid, loaded, when will you make my phone ring were all really big hits in the UK and they did well abraod aswell. Truly classy band and underated along with prefab sprout
Liked them but wasn’t a massive fan. A friend of mine took me to see them live at Barrowlands Glasgow in 1993. I was pleasantly surprised. Amazing live band. I went to see them again at Barrowlands in 1994 on their penultimate concert before they took a break for a few years. Fantastic.
Can anyone help me understand why bands can pull out such great hits in a short space of time, then nothing, youd expect people to get better at their craft?

I love Deacon Blue my favourite band ever Raintown Dignity Chocolate Girl Fergus sings the blues so many hits Ricky and Lorraine still look amazing been to see them many times.
Lost one of my best friends 5 years ago and they played dignity at his funeral rest in peace my friend.
Chin up bro legend song
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏼
What is so significant here is that they are so modest and unassuming! They deserve their success!

Unlike a lot of 80s bands, they can still sing live.

Pure quality so many memories.Top Band
Superb ... An amazing band, the ending wasn't what it should have been.maybe due to time but still an amazing performance xxx

Me lo voy a comprar en CD y long play

The best karaoke ever!

whay can't i come onto a site and NOT read that someone is so under-rated? Drives me mad
They've hardly changed in 36 years.
FKN Brilliant live.
" Alright geezer "...... and ........ "Alright R kid "
Plip plop KLOSH !!! = ?
Dinghy to ship - was it all in the imagination!?
Can anyone help me understand why bands can pull out such great hits in a short space of time, then nothing, youd expect people to get better at their craft?
That lady interviewer is not interested at all. She is not very good.
Keep promoting gambling with the lottery little man that’s all your good for
Blimey , Lorraine's put on some timber.
🤣
eh she's always looked like that curvey in the 2013 conrcent on you tube too
She’s really not that big you make it sound like she’s enormous - she’s just older, it’s what happens.
Think you need glasses ,she’s beautiful,if you can’t something nice keep your mouth shut !
They were decent, but no, they weren’t the biggest Scottish band of the 80s or the 90s😊
Simple Minds?
@@pripri3404 without doubt
@@corkboy4523Simple Minds sólo tuvo un éxito, Deacon Blue tuvo al menos tres, y de echo Texas es el grupo más exitoso de Escocia, pero para gustos los colores
Biggest Scottish band in the 80s and 90s. What rubbish, Simple Minds were in the 80s and Primal Scream were in the 90s.
And runrig
And Wet Wet Wet
Saw deacon blue in 94, very polished act, good gig. But they are not in the same class as simple minds or the greatest scottish band. BIG COUNTRY!
@@colingeddes2172 Totally agree!
Pricless memories.
They can actually sing😂😂
Biggest rock band? 😂😂😂
Raintown to me is the best debut album ever 😀👌
Me lo voy a comprar en CD y long play
Still one of the best songs from the 80’s. Brings back the best memories.
I will be listening to them all night now they’re immense 👍
I love Deacon Blue my favourite band ever Raintown Dignity Chocolate Girl Fergus sings the blues so many hits Ricky and Lorraine still look amazing been to see them many times.
Great band granted....biggest rock band in Scotland in that era.... Simple Minds might have something to say about that !!!!
And big country. Kudos to deacon blue though, great tunes, great live band.❤
Brilliant band, great memories ❤❤❤
Shelter from the sky ❤❤❤
biggest scottish band of the 80s and 90s?? uhhhhh ever hear of SimpleMinds?
Great band rikki Ross top voice
Rather wonderful they can be so creative, successful and also happily married for so long. What a wonderful achievement.
So many happy happy memories 😊😊😊
I should’ve listened bogeys advice…..instead of spending all my dough on thai bar girls
Good to see them still together and they're very fortunate yo conr from a time where bands could make very good money.
Fab group wow 36 years 😮 where has the time gone 80's good times & 90's wasn't keen on rest 🤭
They are brilliant band love them xx🏍🏍🎄🎄
their secret is unconditional love too me
Ricky still looking and sounding awesome! Love Deacon Blue ❤
still great after all these years
1989 was a great year.
It was the best! 🙏🏼
Qué maravilla oleeee
Great band
rap muscians aren't real musicians, these are but not famous, what a pitty
nope, Simple Minds were
1985 was the first time that the deacon blue were formed
And Lorraine and Ricky are the married couple with two daughters and a son
Great band, nice people.
They were never a " Rock " band ever they were a pop group / new Romantic band. and great at it
I don't know how you'd categorise them, kind of Van Morrison/Aztec Camera. Certainly not New Romantic.
