      Yes Pam , you know your stuff. It's just a pity that he chose the way he wanted to go. We can only guess the reasons but I think he couldn't get people and record companies to see his talent. A sad loss for all..

    A massive thank you to the band - true gentlemen.
    My 8- and 6-year old boys are huge Big Country fans. Took them to the Thame Music Festival on Saturday - the band were so kind and let them on the stage to play guitars on Fields of Fire.
    They'll remember that night forever. Dreams stay with you! Thank you Big Country, a great, great band.
