Big Country, The Flowerpot, Derby - 24th October 2024
Mike Peters was amazing, what a hero! Great songs, great story, really got the crowd going. Big Country have so many great songs. The sound was a bit iffy to begin with, but once it was sorted they were excellent. A great night!

Big Country & The Alarm, The Tivoli, Buckley - 26th October 2024
I've been wanting to see Big Country for a very long time. I couldn't afford it in the 80s and artists often bypass Yorkshire where I live. The band played all their wonderful top tunes. Superlative playing by the band. The mixing was okay but sometimes you couldn't hear all the subtlety of sound in the guitars. Great to be so close to the stage, even at the back of the room, as it is a small venue. The venue staff and crowd were all welcoming and very friendly. I also loved their enthusiasm. Many people were there to support the local Mike Peters (Alarm) who was also excellent. Great voice still. It made it doubly lovely because of his associations with Big Country. I must say that the venue was a bit uncomfortable at times. It was extremely hot and seemed overcrowded. It was difficult to keep your footing with so many people crammed together, especially with so many "over-boisterous" large men there. It was good job they were all very good-natured and no one had any bad intent - it was just they were really enjoying themselves and a bit "unaware" of their impact on smaller people in the crowd. But it got a bit too much at times and you had to take care not to get knocked over, trodden on, or get an elbow in the face as they raised their arms to sing. I noticed that most, if not all of the women had had to move to the back of the room, where you also had to take care not to get accidentally shoved down some steps. Having said that, it was brilliant to be in a venue that wasn't all glitz and "on the make". It is a really genuine place and part of its community, and the clients obviously love and relish their music. It reminded me of the local venues of my youth. And I would definitely go back again. My son who I was with, lives further west in Wales had never seen anything like it. He loved it and said it was one of the very best music places he had ever been to. He also loved the music. He was familiar with if from me playing it all the time. We had an amazing night. Well done to all the totally top-notch musicians. We are amazed at your skills, talent and friendliness. Keep performing all of you. We really appreciate that you do. (Love and support to Mike Peters also. He has a load of spirit..) Well done too, to all the staff at the Tivoli. You are doing a fantastic job. And well done to all the crowd- music lovers and really genuine people.

Big Country & The Alarm, The Tivoli, Buckley - 26th October 2024
Went In Support of Big Country but was very disappointed with their boring intro & performance. Mike Peters was excellent & gets the crowd involved with his excellent persona & voice, he made the visit worthwhile for us.

Seminal Scottish rockers Big Country rose to the fore in the 80’s and remained a huge presence in the following decades. Combining traditional instruments like pipes and fiddles; there is a deep vein of folk throughout their widescreen melodic sound.
The Grammy-nominated band have sold 2 million copies of signature song “In A Big Country” and are known for their hit singles “Fields Of Fire” and “Chance”.
Members include Bruce Watson (guitars/vocals); Mark Brzezicki (drums, vocals); Jamie Watson (guitars/vocals), Simon Hough (vocals/guitar) and Gil Allan (bass).
