Beverley’s birthday, better not push it!

Does anyone know if the Big Country tour in Ireland next year is the Steeltown tour??

Got mine already

Any plans to visit Sydney/Australia 🇦🇺

I apologize if this has been addressed already - will you be back in the US in 2024?

Will you record any of these shows?

Me and the Mrs popping down from Swindon to see 2 of my fave groups..

See you there!

Awesome album. A video I saw on You Tube remembering veterans with the background music of 'Where The Rose Is Sown' is exceptional.

Come to New Jersey!

Neither can I!! Phil Crookall John Westwood

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.
