6 Music Classic Concert - Big Country

Logo for 6 Music Classic Concert - Big Country

Big Country feature in this week's 6 Music Classic Concert. The gig was recorded at London's Hammersmith Palais in 1983, and includes the hits "Fields Of Fire" and "In A Big Country". Initially formed as a five piece in Dunfermline by ex-Skids guitarist Stuart Adamson, Big Country quickly found success with their trademark guitar-which-sounds-like-bagpipes, attractive tartan shirts and distinctive "knees-up" synchronised stage dance. The programme is presented by Chris Hawkins.
