The Songs of STUART ADAMSON

The Songs of Stuart Adamson

Big Country and Icicle Works Originals Unite

This is not a tribute. It's the real deal.

A very special union of 4 of the finest musicians performing the ultimate acoustic homage to the Late Great Stuart Adamson.

You can expect songs that have never been played live before along with the classic Big Country hits we all know and love.

Mark Brzezicki is regarded by many as one of the top drummers on the planet and is also responsible for all the great drumming and percussion on all the Big Country songs. Mark has been, and still is the foundation block behind the sound of Big Country. His CV is a who's who of Rock Royalty.

Chris Layhe is one of the founding members of 80's Icon Band The Icicle Works and is regarded as an amazing bass player. Chris still tours alongside Ian McNabb as The Icicle Works.

This union of Mark and Chris has created a foundation to build a skyscraper of a set highlighting the amazing songs of the late great Stuart Adamson.

The third member to join this amazing band is Guitar Genus Ken Nicol. Ken's background is to say the least very varied from the realms of Steeleye Span and Magna Carta to Al Stewart. Ken is regarded as one of the finest acoustic players around.

Last but by no means least is Simon Hough the former lead vocalist of Big Country for over a decade.

Simon took over the Big Country vocal duties after Mike Peters left the band. He was the lead vocalist and frontman for an incredible 13 years performing all over the World.

TSOSA perform acoustic versions of Stuart Adamson Songs with amazing vocal harmony and precise musical awareness.

Big Country are still very active with Mark still leading the charge but this is something a little special for all the fans to enjoy.

Over the coming months the band will be in the studio recording a new album to coincide with their 2025 British and European tour.

There will be some very special guests appearing along the way.

Mark and the band have the full blessing of the Stuart Adamson Estate.

In 2025 there will be a lot of activity surrounding Stuart's legacy. It's gonna be a great year.

In a big country dreams stay with you, Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside. Stay alive, here we go
