Due to Bruce Watson being struck down with Winter Sickness Bug, regrettably we have had to make the toughest decision to postpone Kinnerminster, Wrexham and Nuneaton shows. It’s not at all what we want to do but he is unable to travel or perform in his current condition...

This image needs to be made into a poster and sold as merch. Its a stunner. You could take out the Merry Christmas to make it 'year round' appropriate OR do one in the original Wonderland colours.

Merry Christmas to you all. And the very best for the New Year. Hope to see you Down under next year

Merry Christmas, 5 brilliant gigs this year rounding off with an astounding performance in the glen, loved We're not in Kansas. Thank you for the live music through the decades 😁

Great gig and loved the pipers.

Was a blessing to see yous in my home town of Dunfermline, haven't lived there since 88 - think you's first performed at the pavillions in the early eighties? Class in a glass - full credit to simon for keeping it going, but the current line up is taking it to the next Level 🤩😍

Great gig 🎶

Last gig of a tumultuous year! Many thanks to all those who travelled from near and far on a really cold night! Big Country would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support. It’s been an incredible journey and we have come out the other side!

Here’s to a healthy New Year coming to you all.
