Re: Big Country Tour 2011
Don't know why they called the LP Steeltown, then took the pix on it @ the BP Oil Refinery in Grangemouth?
I was working in the Refinery that day and saw them taking loads of shots.

Could hardly take the photos in Fife, their construction industry is nothing short of laughable.Toiler On The Sea wrote:Don't know why they called the LP Steeltown, then took the pix on it @ the BP Oil Refinery in Grangemouth?

Saw them at the Brook Southampton tonight, and the revival continues!
This was the warmup for IOW tomorrow and they are up for it! Setlist varied a bit from the earlier gigs this year, chance was played quite early and nothing from Driving to Damascus but we had a new song 'Another Country' Geddit? This was great, Mike said at the end there will be more gigs songs records, you get the feeling big country really are back.
Highlights for me were Porrohman and Look Away but its all good, hoping they get some TV coverage at IOW tomorrow, this must be the biggest gig they've done for years think everyone's gonna have a good time!

Sounds good - I know they're all geared up for a new album with Steve Lillywhite producing.

Re: Big Country Tour 2011
Nice one, Jez.
I see they've also added a few more low-key dates in Scotland with the promise of trying out more new songs.

On their website they have for sale a 4 disc CD/DVD of the recent Edinburgh gig.
Hope they show some of their IOW gig on TV.

Re: Big Country Tour 2011
just seen em last night supporting simple minds in inverness.they were excellent and as good as the headline act.they played for an hour and did 10 songs.slightly spoiled by pouring rain the whole night but a pretty good first "summer in the city" show as it is being billed.mind you,i wouldnt be suprised if next years one is headlined by crap like jls as they did a show in the vicinity a couple of weeks ago. a good night and almost had a punch up happen in front of mrs manticore and myself. that would have been fun,but it fizzeld out.oh well,maybe next time.
