Only time I ever saw Big Country was in 1993 when Hugh Cornwell was supporting them. They were good but I never really got into them in a big way. Of course when I read such enthusiastic reviews like yours I feel like I've missed out.

Thats available for download on the Big Box of Tapes site, along with another couple.
Rugby Union is not only the greatest team sport in the world on the field, but without a shadow of a doubt, is the greatest team sport in the world off the field. Nigel Owens.

Great review Trevor just on my way out the door now as they are on stage at 8pm,early starts these Acadamy gigs on a Fri and Sat, so remember that those who are going to Birmingham for the Stranglers gig in March
Just noticed that tickets go on sale for the Nottingham April gig tomorrow . As they are a reasonable £20 and the gig is on a Saturday night I might give Big Country another listen. Any decent compilations out there to get me in the mood?

'Through a Big Country' is probably the best, got all their early stuff on it.
