Following a hugely successful sell-out tour in 2012, celebrating the 25th anniversary release of their debut album 'Raintown', Deacon Blue return in 2013 to embark on their biggest tour in over a decade!

With six million album sales, 12 UK Top 40 singles and two No.1 albums to their credit, they have been majorly successful and have always been adored by their fans. And their inspirational brand of soulful Scottish pop remains an enduring tonic for the troops. Indeed, when Wayne Rooney tweeted his Spotify playlist before England’s vital group match against Ukraine in Euro 2012, his No.1 song was Real Gone Kid, still one of the Glasgow group’s best-loved hits. But hip? Cool? One of the bands that you’d find hanging out with the fashionistas? That was never Deacon Blue.

So The Hipsters is a decidedly ironic title for a brilliant new Deacon Blue record, the group’s first studio album since Homesick in 2001. For beneath that faintly sardonic veneer, is a collection of finely-tuned songs which finds Ricky Ross, Deacon Blue’s singer, songwriter and mainstay, reflecting on the long-distance life and times of his group with a deep,thoughtful passion.
