- In the Year of Culture 1990 Glasgow celebrated its association with music in an event called "The Big Day Out". At various venues across Glasgow including, Glasgow Green, George Square and Custom House Quay. Included in the line up were - The Silencers, Sheena Easton, Big Country, Hue and Cry, Wet Wet Wet and topping the bill at the Green, Deacon Blue. The central theme on the day was Homelessness. Included in this film are the stories of some of these homeless people.
Deacon Blue's set, gave me goosebumps... still does to this day. Rainton 🖤
“People don’t like this, but I have a great admiration for Theresa May, David Cameron or whoever else it is,” Ricky says. “These people are putting themselves on the line. People might think they’re out to feather their nest or whatever, but I think they could have an easier life, and probably a more prosperous one, outside politics.”
Even Thatcher?
“Yes, and I’d say that to anyone. But I don’t necessarily have to have agreed with her.”
Ricky Ross interview from last few years.
Contrast this with the righteous and warranted criticism of Labour's failure to stand up for the working class in Scotland in the eighties he unleashed at The Big Day in 1990.
Dignity is about the dignity of labour, a concept alien to the Conservatives, whose needless decade of austerity ( it has not ceased) has killed thousands. I have been a Deacon Blue fan since 1987 and lucky enough to see them live a number of times over the years. I am a socialist and that has not changed nor will it ever. I have no admiration for any Conservative Prime Minister past or present.
Lorraine's vocals are amazing
Ah wis there!! Smashin' day oot!!
22:40 Good to see GHA help solve these council house shortages in these modern times 2021 by transferring council houses to 'Arms Length Companies' and charge even more for rent. 👍
A was at that age 14 was raging Adamski pulled out at the last minute lol
Was there that day. Sheena Easton didnt go down too well with her mid Atlantic accent :-) . Where did you get the video from?
It was a tape I made just over 30 years ago
A victim of the small-minded Scots mentality of "you think you're great but you're no' great"
25:35 Someone should tell the singer the correct name of the song - Wild Mountain Thyme
Prat Kane from Who and Why.
Hilarious. Not.

19:47 sorry to say old guy, back in the 1990's 'money did grow on trees' as money was made from paper and no these plastic notes we have now.
If anybody wants to know what an 'Arms Length company' housing is, it's basically getting a council service but being charged a 'private landlord' rents.
What a load of crap. Big country were the only decent band there.
