ROSS BAND-STAND
Persistence is easily one at the most valuable attributes that any aspiring young pop star can have, and it is just one oi the talents oi Ricky Ross oi Deacon Blue. Ricky is the mainstay ol the band, a singer songwriter ol extraordinary talent with a iair dollop ol social conscience thrown in.
Starting on in a band called ‘Woza’ (alter South Airica’s Market Theatre play ‘Woza Albert’) he has been plugging away with his brand oi Prelab Sprout meets The Waterboys music tor quite some time before hitting the precise lineup with Deacon Blue. Recently they impressed several oi the men with the cheque books and have just signed a maiordeal oi typically gargantuan Glaswegian proportions
gt. .1) r with CBS.
Ricky’s speciality is beautiiui ballands, his political passion the plight oi the people oi Nicaragua and this combination ot sensitivity and pop sensibility seems to have its inevitable result in success. The strange thing about Ross, an utterly sensible ex-English teacher, is his weakness lor the music oi one Bruce Springsteen. Not only does he have every obscure Springsteen recording ever made, but the night beiore he signed his record deal with CBS was spent racking his brains about what The Boss would do in this situation. . . only one solution really, he hired a midnight blue Cadillac to sign the papers on. . . (Andrea Miller)
