Excellent stuff. Well done all. Exciting times for Big Country fans with Seer releases, books and documentaries.

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Thanks Keith!

[@padraigsisk4057]

This documentary should hopefully put Big Country out there and show the public how influential and good they were

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Fingers crossed.

[@colinwatt3958]

Fantastic interview. Really intrigued about the possibility that the NY Pier concert could maybe form part of a RM Seer release. Exciting times

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Glad you enjoyed it and yes. Very exciting times!!

[@MrMhdw]

Thanks Dwayne (and Tom and Bruce). Great episode, well timed and so cool to get updates. ‘It’s just one of those songs, you can’t edit it’ is the quote of the episode!

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

You're welcome.

@@BeautifulPeopleVidcast Big country were brilliant last year in Cork and Gill is a good player, seen Big Country with Stuart and without, can't compare but flame is still lighting

[@MisterGee1968]

Superb ! Did I misunderstand Bruce, or did he talk about "recording with Big Country" early in the podcast ?? ie one or two new songs ?

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

I think you heard correctly.

Scott Rowley did good magazine articles on Adamson/BC about 6 years ago, so it may be good that he's attempting a book. The Allan Glenn book was as shallow as a polaroid. BC comes & goes as a band I might like to listen to, & the three pointless, but "I wanna know", Qs for me are: 1) Heart of the World: it sounded like an update on the band's 80s sound (yet it was left off GH) & a year later, "Beat the Devil" (BC sounding like a drunken blues-rock band): how did it happen (a polar opposite/seismic change in 90/91?) & why was Ahern, as per a cassette I had, the drummer on NPLH but the later CD said he was not? 2) Tattoo (formed 1973): as per an Adamson site, he said he disbanded the band in 1976 because he was no longer into Rory Gallagher (who did an album Tattoo in 1973), the original "check-shirt wizard" guitar player, but did Stuart really play/like Rory's stuff then? 3) is it true that the guitar on Into the Valley was a session player, not Stuart, or who did what, removing Stuart, on that first LP,. Hmmm.

Any news on A Great divide podcast?

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

I nee episode of TGD is imminent.

[@ShaneARichards]

Ha! another Big Country fan living in Tasmania.

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Where are you?

[@ShaneARichards]

@@BeautifulPeopleVidcast South Hobart. Are you close by? The Crossing was one of the records that got me interested in music.

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

​@@ShaneARichards I am near Exeter in the West Tamar. I had In A Big Country and Wonderland on a home made mixtape (recorded off the radio) but my first BC album was The Seer, so that one has a special place in my heart.

[@MrMhdw]

I’m going to be very disappointed if the next WKW song isn’t called ‘Horizons’ 😂😂🤔!!

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Hahaha!

[@cejannuzi]

Kercheval is such a minor talent in everything he does.

[@BeautifulPeopleVidcast]

Minor? I'd say major. What would the Ws be without the K?
