Tommy is such a great addition. Looks and sounds the part.

Don't think anyone is saying it's Big Country in that way . Just a fantastic way of keeping the music and memories alive long may it go on .

Amazing concert in Edinburgh.

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!!.
