Ricky is once again hosting the annual Lodging House Mission charity Golf / Spa Day and Dinner at the stunning Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort, Bishopton, on Friday 21 June 2013..... >
This year there will be two songs available for the Christmas Charity Download. The two songs are demos for The Hipsters, "Is There No Way Back To You" and "That's What We Can Do". The Christmas download is only available from Monday 17th December until the end of the year and will be charged at just £1 for two tracks.
Ricky said "We are raising funds so that Howford Primary School in Glasgow, a small school that caters for young children with autism, can build a “Sensory Room” within the school. A Sensory Room is a specific space with specific equipment that allows the children to develop social and emotional skills, relax & develop play, and help communication."
"Having the luxury of a Sensory Room will allow the school to further help the children with their lack of the important senses of touch, sight, smell, taste & balance"
The Christmas download is now closed. Thanks to everyone who downloaded for your kind donations.

Hi folks, a quick note to say that my Lyric Books are for sale now over at http://bit.ly/TID7fQ
They’re a beautiful thing, even if I do say so myself! I spent a long time with the publisher making sure every lyric is correct and it’s a real treat for me to see them so beautifully presented.
You can go direct to the site or pick up signed copies at the shows. Happy reading, Ricky x
The Outsiders is the second single to be taken from Deacon Blue's new album The Hipsters. It is released on 19th November on Edsel Records. Here's a recording of the band playing the track on their 25th Anniversary Tour.
