Thanks for hosting this, Dwayne. Only came across it again recently. Can thoroughly recommend all the episodes. Hope you are well.

Excellent

Scott Rowley did good magazine articles on Adamson/BC about 6 years ago, so it may be good that he's attempting a book. The Allan Glenn book was as shallow as a polaroid. BC comes & goes as a band I might like to listen to, & the three pointless, but "I wanna know", Qs for me are: 1) Heart of the World: it sounded like an update on the band's 80s sound (yet it was left off GH) & a year later, "Beat the Devil" (BC sounding like a drunken blues-rock band): how did it happen (a polar opposite/seismic change in 90/91?) & why was Ahern, as per a cassette I had, the drummer on NPLH but the later CD said he was not? 2) Tattoo (formed 1973): as per an Adamson site, he said he disbanded the band in 1976 because he was no longer into Rory Gallagher (who did an album Tattoo in 1973), the original "check-shirt wizard" guitar player, but did Stuart really play/like Rory's stuff then? 3) is it true that the guitar on Into the Valley was a session player, not Stuart, or who did what, removing Stuart, on that first LP,. Hmmm.

An amazing podcast.Glad to get another Big country fix, after seeing the band just over 2 weeks ago in a cave in Derbyshire. It would be amazing to hear some more interviews.I know two or three english super fans, who would have some amazing stories.

I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you Dwayne and Sammy. 😊

Blue is the colour, on many levels.😊

Coming from Scotland and having met Stuart Adamson on two occasions,i maybe took this amazing band a bit for granted.I think they were under rated by the music critics in the UK.

Great interview, it was good to hear Tony talk and tell his story without interruptions. I've been a Big Country fan since The Crossing and Steeltown, saw them live on the PIOT tour in Milano, even managed to snuck in for the soundcheck. I was seating with Tony and Bruce in the (empty) audience space, while Stuart was playing a few things on his electric guitar. Fantastic. Tony's last album is great, so close to the 'Big Country' sound. Yesterday, after watching this video, I also managed to find a copy of his previous 'The great unknown'. I sympathize with him for not going on with the BC name, and doing his thing instead. it was the right thing to do. Too bad those health issues got in the way, that's the way life is I guess. But the album is great (could use a little less compression, though ;)

This documentary should hopefully put Big Country out there and show the public how influential and good they were

Cant wait for the Cork gig in October, have the tickets

Kercheval is such a minor talent in everything he does.

Tony seems like a cool human. Big Country is very underrated. Especially as Stuart may be best songwriter in modern music. Salute to Tony and Stuart/ Big Country. And to all their fans as well.

Which northern accent?.There are numerous ones.

Any news on A Great divide podcast?

Ha! another Big Country fan living in Tasmania.

I’m going to be very disappointed if the next WKW song isn’t called ‘Horizons’ 😂😂🤔!!

Thanks Dwayne (and Tom and Bruce). Great episode, well timed and so cool to get updates. ‘It’s just one of those songs, you can’t edit it’ is the quote of the episode!

Loved this episode - thanks so much, Dwayne, Bruce & Tom 🥰🤩😍

Superb ! Did I misunderstand Bruce, or did he talk about "recording with Big Country" early in the podcast ?? ie one or two new songs ?

Fantastic interview. Really intrigued about the possibility that the NY Pier concert could maybe form part of a RM Seer release. Exciting times

Excellent stuff. Well done all. Exciting times for Big Country fans with Seer releases, books and documentaries.

Aside from Bruce Cockburn's They Call it Democracy, Steeltown is probably the most significant mainstream 1980's album addressing social and economic justice.

Tony, reverse that diabetes shit with keto/Carnivore diet

Tony sounds like a remarkable man...then again, many teachers are.

Awesome human being god bless you

Top man

Thank you for another great episode Dwayne. It's very much appreciated. And thank you for your music Tom and your passion for Big Country ❤️. Beautiful people!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of BP. It was wonderful to hear Tom, talk about his Big Country journey. Thank you, both. You made my Saturday a lot more enjoyable that I might have hoped it would be. ❤🥰😘

Great guitarist. Second to none!

Great interview Jamie.

Colin . You probably won’t remember me and maybe not see this message but just seen Big Country in Brighton and it reminded me of you . Remember Waruda St? I still live off that I lived with the keyboard player from Big Country

A beautiful lady with a beautiful soul thanks to you both for making this happen stay alive

What a great and influential musician. I personally learned a lot from just watching Tony in the 80's, and his energy helped me develop my own style; which has blessed me to have a career in music as a bassist. I'll be lifting you in prayer for the healing of your legs and the end of your diabetes.

April 2022. Just finished the book “Stuart Adamson, In A Big Country”. Excellent read. Thank you Allan. I was lucky enough to see BC in California, in the 80’s. (Took my Mom as well.) We knew BC were something special and unique. Anyway, thanks for writing this book. Loved it. Cheers!🙏Rest Peacefully Stuart Adamson.❤️

Wow, never heard Tony speak before. So cool. I have only started I didn't think Stuart did it to himself but the parasites 👹👺 behind the record and film businesses took him out. But hearing this from someone behind the scenes is making me change my mind. I still miss Stuart, I LOVE BIG COUNTRY, always did and always will. Love you too Tony, you have me a glimpse of cool in a shell that looks like mine.💪🏾🙏🏾✝️😎🏁

Absolutely loved listening to this episode, and I am excited to listen to more. So happy that you are keeping the magic and memories of Big Country and Stuart alive. Thank you. Greetings from Aberdeen, Scotland.

Máster watson su canal??? Gracias x qlos escuche x primera ves cuando tenía 15 o 14 años en un programa grannys creo. Cuando los escuché. Senti que tenían gran camino y asi fue . Escuche cuando no era nadie y ahora los disfruto escuchándolos marcaron mi vida. Gracias máster watson esperamos un regreso.

What a great interview … fascinating listening to what you’ve been up to over the past 30+ years. Some pretty awesome achievements 👍🏼

sarge ret army good man

What a beautiful person. Thanks for a great hour+ of nostalgia, and such a warm, gentle voice. Some scientists say that the northern accent will disappear in a few decades - I hope not.

I love you, Lee! This is brilliant. What a handsome legend.

Hi Alan. Great to see and hear you. Memories shared. Got your book a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wishing you all the best. Davy Campbell.

Brilliant Conversation. I really like what December do with their own interpretations of classic songs. I think their latest U2 cover, Two Hearts Beat as One, is their best yet.

great interview.

This song makes you want to be in a band.

Top Man Tony, A True Legend Of A Bass Player, And Human Being.

Good to see Bruce again a Dunfermline man through and through and a great musician.

Mike Peters was just awful. Like a karaoke singer.

I think a few hours clinic with Mark B Is the equivalent of a month with Some Great,.....like Gene Krupa.
