Deacon Blue/The Waterboys

Is that the same band/singer?? Just listening to Real Gone Kid and Dignity and sounds a lot like The Waterboys 'The Whole of the Moon'. Same dudes, No?

I don't actually "know". But I would doubt it. Waterboys are from Scotland. Think Deacon Blue are English. Not sure. But I'd be very surprised...

No, indeed.

Ricky Ross was the lead singer for Deacon Blue, Mike Scott for the Waterboys. And they're both Scottish. Deacon Blue were formed in Scotland though whereas the Waterboys came together in London.
