Somehow it's 17 years since Stuart Adamson killed himself. Lead singer/songwriter off one of my favourite bands, Big Country.

Love Big Country.  Went to see them again a couple of months back.  Not the same of course, but still a cracking night out, and only £20.

Responsible for the best and worst concerts I have attended. In the space of a week.

 

Xmas eve, utter shite in the Playhouse.  Dross, they didn't want to be there.

 

A week later on NYE and they kicked it.

37 years (1981) since the Penlee Lifeboat disaster. The village of Mousehole will turn off their famous Christmas lights tonight for an hour in memorial as they’ve done every year since.
