Re: Big Country @ Leeds O2

Great stuff, Jim. 8) Everyone going to these gigs seems have come out with the same impression - a little nervous beforehand about how it would work without Stuart, but blown away by the boundless energy and genuine enthusiasm of Mr Peters. Friday night at Shepherd's Bush was the best of the lot for...

Re: Big Country Tour 2011

Glad you weren't disppointed after I had bigged them up following the Islington gig in January. 8) Monday night's gig at Cambridge took a while to get the crowd going but I'm expecting tonight's outing at SBE to be a bit less reserved. :grin: I've already ordered the live CD they're recording tonigh...

Re: Big Country Tour 2011

Another great gig at Cambridge Junction last night. :grin: Probably about 75% full, so a reasonable crowd but not exactly packed. Very similar set to the Islington gig in January, opening with 1000 Stars which didn't quite set the place alight. :? The audience was very reserved for the first few tra...

Nice one, Mick. 8)
I saw them supporting Big Country all those years ago and bought the Witness For The World album.
Must dig it out - haven't listened to it for about 10 years. :wink:

Re: Things that make you H.A.P.P.Y

I don't mind long shifts, as long as there's something to do. I used to do 10 hours making glasses non-stop. Wonder how many eyesights were ruined. Yeah I know an optician who did that, lost concentration for a few minutes, fell into the lens grinder and made a spectacle of himself. :smt018 :smt018...
