Bruce Watson from Big Country Redux

The Rock Show with Shaun Keaveny

Available for 29 days

Guitarist Bruce Watson founded Big Country with Stuart Adamson in 1981, when Stuart left The Skids. Stuart died 25 years ago in 2001 and now Bruce has decided to release an album of material which was originally written or co-written with Stuart, under the name of Big Country Redux. 'Eastworld' is out in September and Bruce is also out on the road this year with the band. He'll reveal his Rock God tonight. A clue... he's chosen a multi-talented musical force who worked with Big Country back in the day! Also on the show, Live & Dangerous features something new from The Who, plus new releases from the likes of Greta Van Fleet and Marmozets. Produced by Listen Entertainment for BBC Radio 2.
