Big Country

Big Country The Crossing 40th Anniversary Tour (1983-2023) Big Country broke massively worldwide with the release of the albums classic singles 'Fields Of Fire', 'Chance' and signature song 'In A Big Country', which went on to become global smash hits, selling over 2 million copies and driving The Crossing to 3 prestigious Grammy nominations in the USA. The album reached #3 in the UK; overseas, it hit #4 in Canada and #18 in the US. Formed in 1981 by guitar playing founder members, Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson, both native of the bands hometown Dunfermline in Scotland. Initially driven by a shared vision of widescreen guitar melody, harmony and lyric, the classic Big Country sound was further enhanced later that summer by the arrival of drummer Mark Brzezicki and bass player Tony Butler.
