Biografía

Big Country was a rock band from Dunfermline, Scotland, popular in the early to mid 1980s, but still releasing material for a cult following. Canonically composed of the late Stuart Adamson (formerly of The Skids, vocals, guitar, piano), Mark Brzezicki (drums), Tony Butler (bass guitar), and Bruce Watson (guitar), though a variety of other musicians have been in the band during their long wanderings in post-popularity, including Pete Wishart who joined Runrig and became prominent in the SNP. The group's core played their final gig at a festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in October 2000. Founder and frontman Stuart Adamson was found hanged in a hotel room in Hawaii on December 16, 2001, at age 43.
