City of Love


Deacon Blue


The Scottish pop rock band Deacon Blue have
captured an unmistakably romantic feel with
their ninth longer-player, which is bound to
rekindle memories of the outfit’s glory days of
the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. This is the band’s
first album since Believers in 2016.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. This album was recorded in the Gorbals
    area of the Scottish city of Glasgow.

  2. Lead singer Ricky Ross said he chose this
    recording location after finding out that
    “there are bones reputedly belonging to St
    Valentine in St Francis’ church” there.

  3. The album’s title track was chosen as its
    lead single.

  4. The band’s most successful self-penned
    song by chart placing is 1988’s “Real Gone
    Kid”, which reached number eight on the UK
    singles chart.

  5. In 1990, Deacon Blue had another big
    hit, this one reaching number two on the
    same chart, with a cover version of the Burt
    Bacharach and Hal David song “I’ll Never Fall
    in Love Again”.
