Well done all x

Laughing out loud at this .. Brilliant stuff

Hey Richard, we still have your jacket that you 'left on the side of the stage' at an Armoury Show gig...

I truly love the Skids, but hearing in to the valley on a yoghurt advert makes me so sad

Off to see them Sat night at the Ritz Manchester. RIP Stuart 🎸 🎸🎸

How has it taken this long for me to find this - thank you Richard. Big C meant everything to me in the 80's and Stuart was a bloody genius. Cheers Lads.

The first time i heard him, i thought Dylan and Springsteen. And it works.

Been to see Big Country twice in the last few years and it’s been superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Come dry your eyes

Stating the two bands are different is so modestly true but the linkage is there. Into The Valley resounds Stuarts future to create Big Country and that brilliant masterpiece sounds out the Adamson guitar sound that is genius. I'm a piper and can say, Gordon Duncan is a match for Stuart by that I mean a pair of legends passed similar circumstances.

Just seen this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 😊 I saw Big Country play live in 86 and they were brilliant. Best band I've seen live.😊

Richard is such a great interviewer...Really enjoyed it!

Come on ye pars

Enjoyed this interview , very sincere .

Great interview. RJ as we know is a quiet shy retiring type, here is one of the best interviews I have seen with Bruce, felt like 3 friends just having a chat, and so open about playing live in The Skids & Big Country on the same gig, 3rd time I have listened to this and picked up something I missed. Thanks lads.

Loved the skids still do RJ is a great character Went to see Big Country on their first tour in Sheffield and had a drink after with some of them we asked them to put on another gig in our area and they added Mansfield both gigs were amazing

The Proclaimers have let themselves go.

Hence the NS aesthetic on a few Skids sleeves.

Fabulous discussion. An enthralling story.

I had the absolute pleasure of running into Tommy and a couple of his friends when my wife and I were in a pub the last time we were in Edinburgh. Tommy and his pals were talking about books and I was eavesdropping in on their conversation. I made a comment about one of the books they were talking about… one thing led to another and my wife and I spent hours talking with Tommy and his friends. A great and memorable evening in Edinburgh. Thanks Tommy! I still think of that night often. Thanks Fire Station Creative for hosting Tommy!

Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely awesome guys ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🥳💯🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

Clever guy. Great band live The Skids and Richard is a great ambassador for Scotland. Well respected

I wish Richard had asked if any of Stuart's band mates, knowing he clearly wasn't well, and Bruce knowing something was going to happen, if they gave him any support at all? Hopefully so, but here it comes across as 'out of sight, out of mind'. After all it was Stuart who made them the successful band they were. If anyone doubts that, aside from his talent as a musician, look at the Big Country song writing credits, probably why they've only released one album without Stuart.

First saw skids when circus games album came out can't remember the year but I was hooked. Big country was a breath of fresh air to music. I was heart broken when Stuart passed away he must of been in a very bad place. Glad the guys are still going and Richard has not lost those dance moves.😂🤘🤘🤘🤘

My son says mommy play big Country if he only knew !!!? (Tina 80's kid 4 ever

BRILLIANT AND PITTEWEEM

Absolutely loved this.

keep it going...cheers fae w lothian

Great interview. Saw Big Country in 1987 and 1989 and several times since. Seen the skids several times last time Sunday night. Really interesting insight into the early days of both bands who were massively influential on many levels. Thanks for posting

I really want to thank you for posting this Richard. For me it's a bit of a strange experience. It was many Long years ago when I first heard Big Country, the song, on the radio. I was hooked from the git because I've always had a great love for music that has elements clearly rooted in celtic culture. Being Scotts/Irish myself I know that is in my blood. I hadn't listened to the song in a very long time and it just popped into my head just yesterday that I should give it another listen. Do I jumped on UA-cam and just went a little bonkers. I listened to Big Country, the band, for almost the entire day. Again, thanks for posting this video. Cheers and fair winds.

Sorry, without Stuart and Tony, Big Country is now an empty shell of it's true self... nice memories tho..

so grateful to you all for keeping both bands going. the only bands that mattered.

Ah bullshit, this isn't an interview with BC, it's an interview with Bruce. Still cool, but not my BC.

RIP Stuart

G W 0 seconds ago First time I saw Bruff Watson he was on stage at the Kinema looking very Ziggy esque and he could play far better than me,,i was mesmerised ( but dinnae tell him ),,somehow I filled in with the delinx when he moved on with Stuart to begin his path to becoming the Pete Townsend of Scotland, ,,,my first Ballroom experience was far removed from watching him as I went home covered in gob ! , Thanks for bringing backmthose magic days !.

epic

Fantastic. Massive Big Country fan here, some great stories from all of you

Fantastic. Going to listen to the interview where Richard is the interviewee now.

All I want is a tshirt with the classic Big Country logo on it and a time machine to go back to the 80's and catch them in concert. What a great decade for music.

Big Country… what a band, so much great music.

Great band, but Buce Watson, he is so false. Tony Butler, complete opposite, integrity, some things have to count for something.

25:18 ‘Bill was never and never will be a good musician’. Seems harsh.

How can you say that you are talking to Big country when Stuart isnt there.

A great interview. Now I know that the other guitarist is Jamie, Bruce's son. I't great that the songs are still being sung live.

Excellent video, thank you Cat and Ian. I really enjoyed visiting the exhibition yesterday with my mother, as well as the tour of the Glen, Abbey and Carnegie Library with Frank. And I'm delighted to say I had the chance to see Amelia's sculptures of David Livingstone in Edinburgh last night, and of Robert Burns in Dumfries this morning, as I was there for work.

Saw Big Country live mid eighties at Newcastle Mayfair club They were Great & Stuart was on his knees playing 'the Blaydon Races ' absolute class!!!

Jobbo cannie spoke right!
