Fantastic tune. Listen to it often. In fact, I'm going to listen to it right right now.

So sad to see his decline in health 😢

I think he's better now. The albums were recently re-released and was talking about them, seemed in relatively fine fettle. Supposedly a new album on the horizon too, although these days, perhaps understandably, they seem a bit more thrown together/lacking in his earlier perfectionism. Steve McQueen still my favourite album by anyone.

Had The Blue Nile on this week, their first two records are great.[/url]

Third album really good too. Fourth was poor IMO, although it was well received, so that might just be me.

Decent band i'm sure they supported Madness at the old ice rink. If i remember correctly the female singer was kinda rough and ready looking but had a decent legs and figure and looked a right naughty bugger

That album is in my top 10 ever, probably top 5. What was it called over there?

Always thought Deacon Blue were a bit twee, but I agree that Dignity is a great song. Agree with the comments about Prefab Sprout in this thread as well.

I am sure I have tickets to see them . (Cancelled through covid)
Thought I had missed the gig.

The Blue Nile- great band, probably one of the best ever to come out of Scotland. Tinseltown In The Rain an all time classic track. Paul Buchanan has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard.

The Blue Nile made two especially good albums, still sound like they were made yesterday.

If you take then give back good

If you steal be a Robin Hood

Appetite, another great song

I always thought Deacon Blue were a poor man's Prefab Sprout - a band that should have been much more successful than they were.
I'm a big Steely Dan fan, and Deacon Blue took their name from a track off the Dan's 'Aja' Album, which is my least favourite (despite, or maybe because of, the fact that everyone else seems to drool over it), so they were always on a hiding to nothing.

Peg is a fantastic song off that album , never knew it wasn't Walter Becker who did the amazing solo
