Big Country - Still time to get tickets for the last half of the tour
Big Country's big tour is half way through
Scottish Rock giants Big Country are currently touring the UK for the 40th anniversary of their difinitive album 'The Crossing', with support from Kirk Brandon's Spear of Destiny. This is a tour that will include songs from all the classic albums, so one that cannnot be missed. And the tickets for the last few dates are selling out really fast, with Edinburgh and Glasgow already Sold Out!!!.
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 two million copies and driving ‘The Crossing’ to three prestigious Grammy nominations in the USA. The album reached No.3 in the UK; overseas, it hit No.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 in Scotland. 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 Mark Brzezicki (Drums) and Tony Butler (Bass).
Spear Of Destiny first appeared on the scene back in 1983 fronted by Kirk Brandon after the break up of his previous band Theatre Of Hate. Spear of Destiny released a series of incredible singles such as 'Prisoner of Love', 'Liberator', 'The Wheel' and 'Never take me Alive', the latter reaching the UK top twenty.
