Ricky Ross on Deacon Blue, solo shows and his gratitude to U2
Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue plays St Luke's in Cork, and Sugar Club in Dublin.
Ask Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross which musicians he looked up to in his hit-making late 1980s prime and he doesn’t hesitate.
“U2 were fantastic inspirations,” he says, speaking ahead of a trip to Cork for an intimate gig.
