my favourite is either dignity or chocolate girl. the worst well bear in mind i havent heard alot of their songs it is either real gone kid, orphans or something on fellow hoodlums.
there are some songs i like on fellow hoodlums i just remember being so disapointed with it. i havent listened to it for a long time and have been lucky enough to block out all memory of the bad songs on it.

I love Fellow Hoodlums! I bought my very own CD player when I moved into halls of residence at Cyncoed, Cardiff and then went stright to HMV to buy Fellow Hoodlums. The album reminds me of that time and all the freedom that went with living in my first student room all on my own. Within a couple of hours I'd learnt all the words!!! It also reminds me of meeting some brilliant friends and fellow Deacon Blue fans.

Hey Daveyhelen, I have almost same memories of Fellow Hoodlums when I lived in halls of residence at Nottingham University. I remember having the black t-shirt with Fellow Hoodlums artwork on it and DB tour posters on my room wall complete with little dints due to the bobbly paint they used to put on all halls of residence walls!!!!!!

Gentle Teardrops is an awesome song, but Dignity is the obvious choice I suppose, it's a timeless classic. I sang it at a gig last night & there were a group of Deacon Blue fans in, I got some nice feedback from them so it must have been okay. No pressure though eh! Grin

JCM, I found the black t-shirt at my mum and dad's last time I was there! Had to try it on, of course - it was massive!!! Three of us went to see them at The CIA in Cardiff and they announced they were splitting up. We were gutted! We'd spent the afternoon watching the Big Picture Live on video and had a fantastic time. We had to drown our sorrows afterwards! Oh the memories...

Yup - I know where you're coming from Helen, listening to Fellow Hoodlums, I remember it being launced on Radio 2 while at the Cyncoed Hall of Residence and thinking - wow this is different, wasn't soo sure at first, but did enjoy the B-sides.   Now I still love it.  (I didn't have a CD player, so I recorded the programme and probably still have it somewhere on a cassette tape).   Do you remember that record shop at the end of Macintosh place, he used to get hold of some great D.B. vinyls for me.  I got some quite rare stuff there.

it's probably time to go looking for that old cassette with the Radio 1 session on Gary Davies breakfast programme... they did a few piano and vocal duets with Ricky and Lorraine doing a few tunes like James Joyce Soles and Closing Time... but the recordings of that session haven't ever been all that good.

I don't know if the tapes will have survived all this time in storage,  I taped loads of interviews back then, I remember quite a few of them being Ricky and Jim on the keyboard.  Once there was a phone in and they would play the most popular song that got voted for live.  It just went to show they had talent.  I will probably even have that on tape too somewhere.  I think it was Dignity that got sung on that one.  I wonder what choice would come up trumps now if we had a free of all their songs?
