Just awesome live. The sound of my teenage years. I remember being at your Wembley Stadium gig for the sound check supporting Bowie. There was about 10 of us lads and roadies playing football on the pitch with jumpers for goalposts in front of BC and an empty stadium. Lord knows where the ball came from, but we played footy at Wembley and had our own personal BC concert! I’ll remember some great gigs! RIP big man.

I miss that guy's huge heart, his great playing and his wonderful songs. The world needs more Stuart Adamsons.

I feel terrible when I think that I never saw a show with him here in Brazil. His talent along with the band was unique. The guitar, the lyrics...so, so fantastic, so nostalgic. I miss him!

Stuart provided my favourite music through my teenage years. One of the few bands who played in Belfast at the height of the troubles. Remember that gig Debbie Ming? We were 16! Such an amazingly talented musician. I was heartbroken when he died.

The lyrics to Stuart’s songs were such an influence to all my musical choices. Missed and never forgotten.

Happy Birthday Stuart. Legend. Your greatly missed. However we’re all keeping the music alive x

Great gig..Happy Birthday Stuart, a true legend .

Sat chatting with Stuart for ages after Big Country's gig at the Hacienda , around the time Harvest Home came out. I remember him joking with the crowd about not understanding his accent even though he was from Manchester! Such a lovely talented guy and very sadly missed.

His music and lyrics conveyed emotion, passion and a social conscience that left a timeless legacy. Gone, but never forgotten, his music will always stay alive ❤️

Happy birthday Stuart, quite simply the most underrated guitarist and songwriter of this and any other generation.

What an incredibly sad loss this is. Such a talented man who is still much loved and greatly missed❤️

Happy birthday Stuart and thank you for the great songs you have given to us.

Happy Birthday, Stuart! Thank you for the music🤎In a big country dreams stay with you...

21 years ago we were together on stage in Cologne to celebrate your Birthday. You told me to stay alive, so sad you couldn't... Happy Birthday Stuart. Wherever you are ❤

Happy Birthday Stuart. Always love and gratitude for your music, which made me fall in love with Scotland when I was a teenager in Surrey (so much so I moved up here in 1989!) Never forget you and your music will always be the soundtrack to my "formative years". Love Belinda (an adopted Fifer) X

Happy Birthday to this great guitarist and front man of the Brilliant Big Country still sadly missed the band may live on but not the same...Stay Alive

Went to their Final Fling Tour, still love and play their music. Great talent still makes me sad to think that Stuart is no longer around.Also went to see them at a smaller venue,the band half way through stopped playing and chatted to the audience, I had a chat with Tony Butler. Love the start to Porrohman. Playing it now!

What a band , what a frontman . Saw you twice , 2 of the best gigs I went to . Still playing your amazing records ❤️😢

The Best Of Big Country, Sadly Missed. Stuart A Great Writer Singer And Musician Oh And A Manc -Scotsman A Grand Combination. Great Music You Played We Listened. All The Best Sláinte

Happy Birthday Stuart, the love never dies. Still my favourite band, often play Winter Sky when I'm on my own ❤️

Happy birthday, Stuart! So glad you were with us for a while! You’re one of a kind, and you gave some of the best music ever recorded!

So very sorely missed and even more so on this special day. Happy Birthday Stuart. A shining eye will never cry. A beating heart will never die. ❤

My birthday today too and a privilege to share it with this brilliant man. Watched Restless Natives the other night and the music reminded me the world is a poorer place without him in it. RIP Stuart Adamson; greatly missed.

Happy birthday Stuart.Had a good listen to the crossing.Still sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Shine bright in the heavens Sir.x

Truly missed; one of the most brilliant songwriters I've ever heard. A legend. I was hooked on BC's music as a teenager growing up in Pennsylvania, and I've been listening to them ever since. Remembrance Day for Stu.

Melbourne 17/03/18 Melbourne you were fantastic Melbourne 17/03/18 Melbourne you were fantastic tonight! Meet local legend Big Andy Inkster. Andy has in his hands the very rare Australian release of our first single 'Harvest Home' while Mark and I have Skippy's sawn off scrotum in ours. I can honestly say that this is the first time someone has actually bought me a body part. Not sure what I will keep in it though, maybe some plectrums or used bus tickets. Maybe some of you good people could come up with some suggestions. That is all.
Well that's it - 7 gig's played to 7 great crowds Well that's it - 7 gig's played to 7 great crowds in Germany over the past 7 days. Thanks a million to all the fans over here who turned out despite the atrocious weather conditions - special shout out to those who traveled here from overseas!!. It's been a tough one, but it's been an unforgettable blast -Scott Whitley
