Big Country Billets

Scottish rockers Big Country emerged in the 1980s with a distinctive sound blending punk energy with Celtic folk influences. Formed by Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson, their anthemic hits like "In a Big Country" catapulted them to global fame. Adamson's trademark guitar playing, characterised by e-bow-driven melodies and bagpipe-like drones, defined their sound. Their lyrics often drew from themes of longing, identity, and the Scottish landscape. Big Country's legacy endures, celebrated for their passionate live performances and enduring influence on alternative rock. Their music remains a powerful testament to the spirit of their homeland and beyond.
