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.'
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 reader on
a journey from Ricky's childhood to the rollercoaster of leading his band
Deacon Blue to top of the charts and the band's eventual break-up and his solo
career.
