Indie News, Yann Tiersen, Divine Comedy, Deacon Blue ...

With the album's reduced commercial clout and declining role in music consumption, a dilemma crops up for all long-established bands involved in the endeavour of making a new LP record. Put simply, why bother? Why toil for four years on a body of work that distils 100 song ideas into ten tracks, spending a fortune in the process, only to see it flash across the charts and then evaporate into the mesh of 100 million songs? It's an existential question for Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue, who told me:“It's sort of madness really, when all the good songs and books have already been written. Who wants to hear what's in my head or what we've created as a band? Does anyone even sit down and listen to an album now? But I think of it in the same way as poets, novelists and filmmakers. It's still worth doing if you feel you can do it well”. Arguably, new albums have been especially challenging for Deacon Blue in part because the band made one of the most accomplished debuts ever, 1987's Raintown. With its themes of growing up in Glasgow, work, money, expectations and dreams, Raintown is as universal a concept as any record and yet it is fundamentally a musical tribute to Glasgow that most Scots are really proud of. It set a high bar for Deacon Blue, and yet the band went on to have acute commercial success with the four albums that followed between 1989 and 1994, rounding the period off with a Greatest Hits compilation (remember them!) Our Town, in 1994. The band then split, and you can't say they didn't quit while they were ahead. They each went on to have their own multi-media career ventures, acting, writing and presenting, effectively avoiding the inevitable mid-career slump of many of their contemporaries. Alas, they came back together in 1999 and the second act has been a classic post limelight affair. A string of lower key albums placed them firmly in the ‘for fans only' vortex of music careers - perfectly sustainable and yet largely forgotten by the mainstream. It hasn't stopped the band hitting creative highs with albums though, notably 2014's A New House  and the outstanding City of Love in 2020. But when the journey continues, where do you go next? The answer seems to be ‘full circle, then forward'. New album The Great Western Road arrives on a momentous anniversary for Deacon Blue, it is 40 years since songwriter and frontman Ricky Ross and drummer Dougie Vipond created the group's first incarnation. With the opening title track set in Glasgow, it's more than a nod to their debut (indeed, the title track echoes Raintown's opener Born In A Storm, a ‘Gershwin meets Glasgow' classic). The band reunited with Raintown recording engineer Matt Butler and so were clearly ready to revisit their origins. But as the new album unfolds, so does the metaphor of the band stretching out further and further. The result is a bunch of songs that reflect the sense of expectation of their early work with reflection, perspective and a contented resignation. Classic country songs How We Remember It and Curve of the Line are particular highlights of a mature, grown up pop record. Support the showGet more related content at: https://www.songsommelier.com/

Alongside writing and performing, Ricky is also a Sony award-winning broadcaster.

In this episode we dive into a lesser-known compilation from Dundee, 1996, titled 'After the Storm', which was created to raise funds for 18U. We explore the tracks, uncovering a mix of genres from 80s power ballads to 90s dance and country influences. There's a lot of colourful and, shall we say, sometimes questionable, musical efforts showcased in this CD, and as ever we humorously navigate the ups and downs of their listening experience. Highlights include oddities like George McFarlane's rap experiment and a cheerful dance track by Bliss. They wrap up with an existential crisis triggered by Real Gone Kid by Deacon Blue. But it's all for your entertainment, so it's all good. Oh, and yeah cause this week is particularly heavy the first 18 minutes or so are about Trump winning the US election.

Dori has better friends than Paulo and she rubs it in his face by reviewing Deacon Blue in concert.  Paulo wants to create a George Michael economy which leads to possibly the best discovery in the history of this show. Paulo names so many sex tapes which prompts Dori to talk about Saltburn - possibly the name of a sex tape.  Are we about to get a hologram remake of ‘'Do they know it's Christmas''?

This episode Tim is joined by Ricky Ross & Lorraine McIntosh to talk through Deacon Blue's second album, When the World Knows Your Name. It was a number 1 album in the UK going double platinum and contained the band's first top 10 hit, and 4 subsequent singles reaching the top 30.

Siana goes to a Deacon Blue concert and talks about stimulation and over-stimulation. We compare notes on what that feels like and what we do to recover. This sparks on ongoing conversation about how autistic people spend and recoup energy and why this may be different to the experiences of others, and why processes around managing tasks and time can be such dominant features of our lives. We talk about how "nothing just happens" in our lives. Why "it depends" and "good enough" are such important concepts to us as autistic people.

Santino Le Saint drops by to chat with Radio DJ Phil Wilson about yet another exciting EP and track 'Whisky & Wine'!   Quote from Santino "wrote whisky & wine last year in the south of France on a writing camp. The song tells a story of two people who love each other but are so different for each other and I sing it from the perspective of loss and looking back. I was heavily inspired by Chris Stapleton and country music when writing the lyrics in this song and specifically how I tell the story as well as the guitar riff." The past few years have been filled with growth for Santino and many firsts, boasting a successful 13-date UK/EU tour, a partnership with Jordan for JD Sport, and a support tour with 070 Shake. Santino has spent the best part of the last two years on tour and thrives on stage but has taken steps towards living a healthier, sustainable lifestyle despite being surrounded by temptation. Dubbed a One To Watch by The Independent and Wonderland, he continues to win people over with innate talent and a larger-than-life personality.  PRESS: “The brilliantly broody Brixton artist Santino Le Saint is bringing rock and hip hop together like no other UK artist right now.” - The Independent  “A Multi-Faceted Rockstar In The Making” - Clash “Hedonistic and proud, Santino Le Saint is the guitar-wielding anti-role model you never knew you needed” - The Line Of Best Fit  YouTube:  @santinolesaint   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/santinolesaint/ Facbook: https://www.facebook.com/santinolesaint/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/49WBtnIs3VA1tHR7jQG1F6 Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/santinolesaint If you would like to support the show please feel free to send me a donation or buy me a coffee or one of my books at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vinylreviv4 all helps with bringing the show together every week.

We're really starting to think that a pound just isn't very sound at all any more… This week we thought it'd be good to bring back your favourite Poundland £1 album review show. Except, Poundland doesn't sell CDs anymore (probably a good thing), which means we had to start looking at other places to buy CDs for £1. Which meant going to charity shops and to be honest, that sits just fine with us. We roped Vicki into the latest edition, and instead of releasing it to our subs we thought we'd show people who aren't subs just exactly what they're missing by putting this episode on general release. So what do we have in our £1 album bucket this week? Well folks, it's Deacon Blue, Ed Sheeran and Miss Dynamite. Not sure what else we can say. This went about as well as you'd expect - torturously so. Just…just go with it.

This week on the Fortunately podcast, Fi and Jane are back from holidays and are joined by singer and broadcaster Ricky Ross. Now a presenter on BBC Scotland, Ricky Ross is the lead singer of Deacon Blue, and he shares stories from his new memoir Walking Back Home. He talks about following his faith whilst living the life of a rockstar, and all three discuss what makes a good interview with a musician. Ricky also explains just why he never went to a barbecue at Bruce Springsteen's house. Before he arrives, Fi and Jane discuss breakfast buffets, saving sun loungers and feelings you're not supposed to have. Get in touch: fortunately.podcast@bbc.co.uk

The first memoir by Deacon Blue singer and music icon Ricky Ross. In 1986, Ricky Ross started a full-time career in music, which has lasted for over 35 years. His earlier working life was spent in youth work and teaching in his home city of Dundee, and his adopted home of Glasgow. It was in these two cities where he spent his formative years learning how to write and play songs. Having always written about the people and places who've made an impact on his life, it's no surprise that this is how he has approached Walking Back Home, his first-ever memoir, which takes the listener on a journey from Ricky's childhood to the roller coaster of leading his band Deacon Blue to top of the charts and the band's eventual break-up and his solo career. "I started to write about the years I spent putting the band together, on the first time we ever played in America, and about some of the musical characters I've met along the way. I gave some thought to growing up in suburban Dundee in a family with no record player and no sense that someone like me could, one day, make a record. That's one part of the story. However, I still want to talk about the smell of Born to Run when I first got it home and how I saw the Buzzcocks looking at a Cliff Richard album sleeve in a Dundee Record Shop window. I still want to tell the stories of my grandparents and parents and the woman whose voice was so vulnerable when she got up to sing at our church. For all these years I've told stories. Sometimes these days I also tell them on the radio. I've met some amazing people and their stories need told, too. The first time Deacon Blue ever played Wembley Arena I started to introduce a song only to hear, 'Get on with it' shouted from Row Z. We proceeded with the song, but I often thought I'd quite like to finish that story."

Seven million record sales, twelve UK top 40 singles, two number one albums; the music of Deacon Blue - and that group's singer Ricky Ross - defined much of my childhood.And so it's a total thrill to speak to the Dundee born songwriter on this episode. Ricky has a new solo album, Short Stories, Vol. 2, out now on Cooking Vinyl, a tour coming late September, and his first memoir, Walking Back Home: Deacon Blue and Me, published by Headline, out now too. And it's the latter which we principally talk about today. I'm writing a book too. I thought it was a good opportunity to push Ricky for some tips. But also – my dad passed away last weekend. He was 81. He'd been sick for ages. It's very sad, I'm very sad, but I've got some peace about it too. But it does come up in the episode because a lot of the conversation is about growing and feeling and all sorts of important life stuff.It wasn't just a pleasure to speak to Ricky, but a sort of tonic too – to speak to someone obviously sensitive, obviously wise, and with one of those soft Scottish accents that can alleviate anxiety with a single vowel.I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Cuando se habla de la música de los 80s enseguida todos nombran Sweet Dreams, Take on Me o Relax. Pero fue una década muy rica de estilos, géneros y sonidos nuevos. Continuando con el podcast anterior, en donde todas las canciones estaban unidas por un punto en común o vinculo. En este caso he seleccionado canciones cuyo vinculo es la melancolía, y un punto de tristeza (muy propio del Post Punk y el Goth Rock). En este caso el núcleo de este conjunto de canciones es Broken Land de The Adventures, procedentes de Irlanda del Norte, una bellísima melodía que logro gran éxito en las islas británicas en el '88 y ha sonado en las emisoras de radio de gran parte del mundo. Continuamos con Soul Crying Out de Simple Minds que no fue publicado como single, pertenece al disco Street Fighting Years del año '89. Una letra que hace referencia a los años de la infancia de Jim Kerr (el líder del grupo) en Glasgow. Give it Up de Talk Talk lanzado como single en 1986, un downtempo decadente y melancólico con una letra un tanto pesimista y desesperanzadora. The Woodentops y The Blue Nile, dos grupos que con los años han quedado olvidados, del primero rescato Give It Time (1985) y del segundo The Downtown Lines (1989), ambas canciones sonaron en su momento, incluso la canción de The Blue Nile fue versionada por Annie Lennox en su disco Medusa, melodías melancólicas ochenteras. Everything But The Girl, grupo de origen Indie Pop con toques de Jazz, pasando por el Pop ochentero y acabando como una banda de electrónica en los 90s, pero siempre conservando su sello independiente. De ellos rescato Driving, publicada como single en 1989 y uno de sus mayores éxitos de la década. Morrissey y The Smiths, el primero líder de los Smiths y quien comenzó su carrera solista tras la disolución del grupo, uno de sus primeros singles y éxitos como solista fue justamente Everyday Like Sundays, quien mejor que Morrissey para hablar de letras melancólicas y tristes. En el caso de los Smiths he incluido There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, que se puede agregar a esta altura de esta canción?, con los años se convirtió en una de las más populares del grupo, su letra habla de un amor no correspondido y con un supuesto final fatal. Los escoceses Deacon Blue, y los ingleses Prefab Spout. Los primeros con su éxito del '87 Dignity, los segundos con When Love Breaks Down de 1984. The Dream Academy y The Church, casi dos “One Hit Wonder” pero que fueron mucho mas a pesar de un solo gran éxito a nivel mundial. Life in a Northdem Town, publicada en 1985, una canción atípica para la época, mas propia de finales de los 60s con esas armonías vocales, melódicas bucólicas propias de Folk de aquella época y un espíritu muy Hippie, aquí podréis escuchar la versión extendida. En el caso de The Church su gran éxito Under The Milky Way (1988). El grupo australiano logra el éxito masivo después de casi 10 años de carrera. Echo & The Bunnymen y su Bring on The Dancing Horses, que se puede agregar sobre este grupo y esta canción? Publicada como single en 1985 y grabada para el film de John Hughes “Pretty In Pink”. Peter Murphy, ex líder de Bauhaus, comenzó su carrera solita a mediados de los 80s, con un estilo mas cercano al Pop Rock / Post Punk que al sonido gótico de su grupo. Aquí podréis escuchar Indigo Eyes del año '88. The Stranglers, sobrevivientes del Punk continuaron su carrera durante toda la década y en el año 1986 publicaron su mayor éxito a nivel mundial, Always The Sun. Tears for Fears, dentro de su exitoso álbum “Songs From The Big Chair” nos encontramos con la bellísima Head Over Hills, siendo el cuarto single del disco. Y con la que cierro el podcast. Como el podcast anterior, no me he centrado en un movimiento en específico sino en el valor de un conjunto de canciones que uniéndolas suenan en armonía unas con otras. Espero disfrutéis del podcast.

Today on PEP Talk, Andy and Kristi speak with a chaplain working in a hospice setting. Here, mortality is a daily reality, as are experiences of suffering. What is it like to talk with folks and share the hope of Christ in such an environment? Although most of us aren't in that position, many of us will go through the process of dying with loved ones, and our guest Jackie helps us think through how to approach it.Jackie Whyte serves as the Chaplain working at Northern Ireland Hospice and Children's Hospice. Having given his life to Jesus as a teenager, he worked in engineering before moving into Christian ministry. Jackie enjoys listening to Deacon Blue, watching football and walking sections of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. He lives in Carrickfergus with his wife Nicola.Support the show

Another quality guest from "across the pond" as they say. Stephen "Steve" Slessor is an absolute rock star and one of our new favorite people! He is the Managing Director at Galliford Try Environment and President of Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors. Steve provided an enlightening perspective on all of the great things land surveyors are doing in the UK as well as the challenges they are currently facing. Oddly enough, those challenge are very consistent with the things we struggle with as a profession here in the states. Steve sums it up best by saying “One of the key lessons I have learned is that working collaboratively is at the heart of any successful project or business. I firmly believe in driving the right behaviors and relationships, to enable effective communication between project teams, clients and the supply chain, to deliver projects to the highest standards.” We all can learn a lot from Mr. Slessor. Other topics covered include Legos, football (soccer) and a trip to Mars. Music for this episode by Deacon Blue!
