Big Country tour

Post by Russ65 »

Saw Big Country last night doing a free warm up gig under the guise of 'Men Of Steel' at a small club in Clitheroe, Lancashire this precedes their anniversary tour of the album Steeltown. Well worth checking out. Thought they were excellent supporting the Stranglers and Boomtown Rats in the summer at Whitehaven.

That rough demo mix of "Tall Ships Go" on the new Steeltown remaster is fucking sweet!

its a guy called Simon Hough. Not a lot known about him but his vocal style does suit the tunes as he is quite deep.

That's Derek Forbes out of the band now.something to do with the touring schedule conflicting with other stuff he wants to do.they will be replacing him with a new guy,no word on who yet.they better hurry as they have a big on Saturday.would be good if it was Tony butler,though I doubt it
