Big Country - The 80s took a break from Techno for a minute or two.

– Big Country – In Concert – 1983 – BBC Radio 1 In Concert Series –

Back to the 80s tonight for a concert by Big Country, recorded in 1983 by the venerable BBC Radio 1. As the early 80s became wrapped in a blanket of Techno, synthesizers and drum machines – Big Country came along and took every back a few steps. A guitar based band which immediately caught peoples attention and was a welcome respite from the seemingly endless barrage of electronica.

If you missed them the first time around, or if they just slipped your mind, here is a reminder of what Big Country were all about during their formative years.

'The Crossing' 40th Anniversary Tour (1983-2023).

Big Country celebrate their iconic 1983 debut LP 'The Crossing' 40 years on from release along with very special guests Nine Below Zero.

Big Country broke massively worldwide with the release of the album’s classic singles 'Fields Of Fire', 'Chance' and signature song 'In A Big Country', which went on to become massive worldwide hits, selling over 2 million copies and driving ‘The Crossing’ to 3 prestigious Grammy nominations in the USA. The album reached #3 in the UK; overseas, it hit #4 in Canada and #18 in the US.

Formed in 1981 by guitar playing founder members, Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson, both native of the band’s hometown Dunfermline. Initially driven by a shared vision of widescreen guitar melody, harmony and lyric, the classic Big Country sound was further enhanced later that summer by the arrival of drummer Mark Brzezicki and bass player Tony Butler.

Big Country are Bruce Watson (guitars/vocals); Mark Brzezicki (drums, vocals); Jamie Watson (guitars/vocals), Simon Hough (vocals/guitar) and Gil Allan (bass).

Over 18s only.
