Unforgettable Performance

Brilliant gig, 1st time I have seen Big Country and was blown away by the full on energy from start to finish. Bruce Watson’s guitar playing is mesmerising and couldn’t stop watching him cavorting around the stage. That said all band members gave it their all. Nice cosy venue ( 1st time visit) and icing on the cake was the The Icicle Works as the support act. All in all a cracking night.

Great gig

Nice to see the lads still touring, played all their hits and of course the album Steeltown. The older bands really show how poor many of the new ones are. The lads were really into the music, very lively bunch.

Just Tremendous

A great gig by an all time favourite band. Great crowd and venue topped off with a fantastic set from Big Country and great support from the icicle works. A fantastic night out.

I have seen Big Country loads of times and even after 40 years they are still one of the best bands live around.
