RICKY Ross and Lorraine McIntosh have been partners for more than 20 years, publicly as the frontfolks of Scotpop favourites Deacon Blue and privately as husband and wife. With Deacon Blue on "indefinite hiatus" – in short, adopting a healthy "we'll play when we feel like it" attitude – Ross now makes a living writing for other singers, including Will Young and Ronan Keating, while McIntosh has forged a career as a film and television actress. But maybe they should consider working together more often because, on their first joint album, they have found yet another fruitful way of making their partnership spark.
