DEACON Blue's Ricky Ross will play two solo dates in Glasgow's East End.

The singer will take to the stage at St Luke's in the Calton on November 19 and 20.  

The Scot will release new album Short Stories Volume 1 this September.

The album was recorded over two days at Chameleon Studios in Hamburg and includes brand news songs and Deacon Blue tracks.

It also features other less well known songs from throughout his 30 year career as one of Britain’s best loved songwriters.

Ricky said: "This album is like a souvenir of my solo shows, which are a very different beast to Deacon Blue live. They're intimate, minimal, a chance for me to revisit songs that started out life with just piano and vocals and take them back to their roots, as well as play some new songs inspired by recent times." 

Tickets for the show are on sale now.
