    Transcript of interview with Bruce Watson of Big Country, originally broadcast on Kaleidoscope Ears, Edge Radio 99.3 in Hobart, Tasmania, on Sunday 20th September 2009. DWAYNE BUNNEY: It’s a privilege to have on the line from Dunfermline in Scotland, founding member and guitarist of Big Country, Bruce Watson. Thanks for joining us. BRUCE WATSON: That’s no problem Dwayne, how are you? DB: Yeah very well. Now we’re going to talk about the new music you and your son Jamie are making in a moment, but, I want to talk to you about Big Country. BW: Yeah that’s not a problem. DB: The band, it’s renowned for being a Scottish band, but no of you were born in Scotland were you? BW: No I was born in Timmins, Ontario in Canada. Stuart was born in Manchester, England, and Tony and Mark, well they were also born in England. DB: Well you certainly don’t sound Canadian I can tell you that. BW: No definitely not. I lost that accent a long, long time ago. DB: Tell us about how you first hooked up with Stuart Adamson to form Big Country. BW: Well Stuart was in a band called The Skids as you probably know. He decided after about three and a half years that he wanted to do something different. And he’d also told me while he was in The Skids that he wanted to start a two guitar band and that at some point he’d give me a call in the future.

  • 1977 Bildeten Jim Kerr Und Charlie Burchill Zusammen Mit Dem Drummer Brian Mcgee Eine Punkrock-Band, Genannt „Johnny & the Self Abusers
    Biographie/Presse „exSIMPLE MINDS“ 1977 bildeten Jim Kerr und Charlie Burchill zusammen mit dem Drummer Brian McGee eine Punkrock-Band, genannt „Johnny & The Self Abusers. Nach einer erfolglosen Single wurde die Bandaufstellung schnell umgruppiert und der Name in SIMPLE MINDS geändert. Schottlands größte und erfolgreichste Band. 1978 schloss sich Derek Forbes den SIMPLE MINDS an. Am Anfang stand er als Bassist bei einem Auftritt in der berüchtigten Bar Mars in Glasgow auf der Bühne. Das war die allererste Zusammenarbeit von Forbes und McGee und der Anfang der wahrscheinlich populärsten und kreativsten Periode der SIMPLE MINDS Karriere. Forbes und McGee waren zweifellos dafür verantwortlich, den unmissverständlichen Ton der frühen SIMPLE MINDS Alben zu definieren. Sie setzten glühende Rhythmus-Spuren, wie “Themes For Great Cities“, “Love Song“, “I travel“, “The American“, “Changeling“, “Chelsea Girl“, und bildeten eine großartige Partnerschaft für die ersten 6 Simple Minds-Alben, “Life in a Day”, “Reel to Reel Cacophony”, “Empires and Dance”, “Celebration”, “Sons and Fascination” und “Sister Feelings Call”. Brian McGee verließ die SIMPLE MINDS 1981 nach Jahren mörderischer, weltweiter Tourneen und schloss sich der Glasgower Band “END GAMES” an. Inzwischen setzte Derek Forbes mit den SIMPLE MINDS die Reise durch ihre goldene Phase fort. Alben wie „New Gold Dream“ (`81 - `84) und „Sparkle in the Rain“ wurden geschrieben, aufgenommen und es folgten dazu weitere Tourneen. Jedoch nach dem Erreichen des ultimativen Charthöhepunktes – der Nummer Eins in Amerika – mit dem internationalen Erfolg „Don`t Forget About Me“, verließ Forbes, die Band. Innerhalb von 2 Monaten kehrte Forbes als Bassist der deutschen Band „Propaganda“ wieder zurück in der Musik-Szene.

The original “Sons and Fascination” album was inspired by bands such as “La Düsseldorf”, “Can”, “Neu”, and of course “Kraftwerk” among many Mix Records Recording Studio other's. It was this unique blend of styles that resulted in the huge success of the album, a style trend which “Sons of Dan” hopes to continue.

Since the late 1970s a large number of bands have emerged from (or been associated with) the city, yet little academic research has been carried out to determine the factors behind this phenomenon.

  • Big Country Book of Lyrics Was Originally Offered Online As a PDF File on a Web Site That Later Grew Into the Remarkable Steeltown Site
    THE BOOK of LYRICS Compiled by Michael S. Wallack v2.1 (March 5, 2007) This page intentionally left blank Introduction Project History This project is truly a labor of love. Big Country's music has played a very important part in my life over the last twenty years and this project is, in part, my way of giving something to those who share my love of Big Country. The Big Country Book of Lyrics was originally offered online as a PDF file on a web site that later grew into the remarkable Steeltown site. Unfortunately, the real world intruded and the original compiler decided to stop further updates after the release of the "Somebody Else" CD singles. At that point, I stepped in and decided to assume the responsibility for the Big Country Book of Lyrics. Alas, the real world also delayed my ability to keep up with new releases and the Book of Lyrics fell into limbo. Now, however, it is finally time to resurrect the Big Country Book of Lyrics. Dedication The Big Country Book of Lyrics is, of course, dedicated to Bruce Watson, Tony Butler, Mark Brzezicki, and to the memory of Stuart Adamson. May the music they made inspire us for generations to come. Stay alive! Driving home from work shortly after posting v2.00 of the Book of Lyrics, I realized that I had forgotten the most important dedication of all: To my wife; the first girl that I dated who liked Big Country. She has put up with my obsession all these years, and, since I began this project, has never once laughed at me or told me that I was wasting my time.
