The album stayed in the UK charts for a year and a half 😮

It’s been 35 years since Glasgow band Deacon Blue released their debut album Raintown, which remained in the UK charts for a year and a half.

Themes of weather are found throughout the album - even a quick glance at the cover and we see a gloomy Glasgow day, featuring the Finnieston crane. Other themes include money, unemployment, and dreaming of a better life. Sign up to our Glasgow Live nostalgia newsletters for more local history and heritage content straight to your inbox
