Big Country : The Journey review

Eleven years after the suicide of singer Stuart Adamson, Big Country return with Alarm frontman Mike Peters at the helm.

It's a clever move because Peters is cut from similar musical cloth and there’s a determined drive to show it’s business as usual.

It's evident from the skirl of pipe-like guitars and tumbling drums on opening brace In A Broken Promise Lane, The Journey and After The Flood.

But too much of the rest is hit and miss, Home Of The Brave a car crash of a song. Still, see them live at the Wolverhampton’s Wulfrun Hall on April 24.
