Ricky Ross announces live dates

Ricky Ross returns to live duty in June with shows at the Gallery Bar, Derry (June 16); Terrace Hotel, Magherafelt (17); Grianan Theatre, Letterkenny (18); and Empire Music Hall, Belfast (19).

Prior to that comes the May 2 release of Pale Rider, Ross’ new solo album which includes a song covered by Ronan Keating on his last album, ‘She Gets Inside Me’.

The singer was reunited with his former Deacon Blue bandmates last week when they joined Travis, Franz Ferdinand, Texas, Teenage Fanclub and Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody at a Tsunami benefit in Glasgow.
