I remember hearing Dignity when it first came out and when I saw they were releasing "Raintown" I tried everywhere in Grimsby to find it but couldn't. In the end I got my brother to get it for me from Tower Records in London where he lives. One of my favourite bands too.
If we're doing 'all our yesteryears'....
I saw them at Trent Poly just before Raintown came out, they were excellent.
Then went to see them at the Concert Hall in Nottm maybe 5 years later and Ricky Ross says:
Nottingham holds a special place in our hearts. Just before Raintown came out we were struggling and seriously thinking about breaking up. But we played at the Poly and had a great night, it was the first time a crowd really responded to us and we decided to keep going. If you were in that crowd at the Poly, thank you.

Deacon Blue are a hugely underrated band considering how good their albums are,Ricky’s vocals are superb but Lorraine’s are on a different level if you ask me,I’ve got all their albums except the latest boxset which has a bonus disc included with their previous albums so basically I would be shelling out seventy notes for one album,love their acoustic version of Dancing In The Dark from it,Twist and Shout and When Will You Make My Telephone Ring never get boring to me
Dignity is and always be a crowd pleaser and it’s not unusual for the crowd to join in (right from the start if you are lucky)

You from Nottingham DCT,I’m presuming not?
Nope, Grimsby born and bred but went to Trent and lived in Nottingham for about 15 years in total - loved the place. I live down south now.
I love live music and have seen 100s of bands live...if I'm ever asked what the best venues are I always mention Rock City, it's a brilliant place to see a band. Haven't they just changed the name of it?
I saw a lot of bands at the Trent Poly Union on Shakespeare St as well. Bought all my records from Selectadisc.

A band I love and have seen live is Ocean Colour scene. Some of their music for me is top draw and were excellent live. All the crowd singing in unison with the group on one of their songs " profit in peace "will stay with me forever " we don't want to fight no more ".

Rock City is still Rock City unless they’ve changed their name very recently and as you say it’s a brilliant venue for live bands,Selectadisc was one of the best record shops in Nottingham back in the day ,it was run by a Notts fan who did a fanzine that got sold at home games
Listening to them Deacon Blue tracks took me right back, I had some great times back then, great music and happy memories, it’s amazing how music can take you back to periods in your life.

I've got Moseley Shoals somewhere on CD (it might even be a cassette!). I wasn't a huge OCS fan, I went for the more leftfield bands in Britpop like Kula Shaker, Gene, Shed 7, Charlatans and Echobelly. The whole Oasis v Blur thing bored me.
But not knocking OCS, they were (are?) good.

The best gig I've ever been to was at Rock City. I bought tickets to see The Waterboys and between buying the tickets and the gig Whole of the Moon went into the charts.
The place was packed, there was sweat dripping off the walls and the band were amazing. It was an epic night.

I love OCS too but I rate their lesser known songs more than their crowd pleasers.
