Sadly the great Stuart Adamson is long gone,
but BC are still touring with new front man Simon Hough.

£22 a ticket if you fancy a blast from the past.

Derek Forbes, who was Simple Minds bass player is now in BC (he took over from Tony Butler a couple of years ago).

Hope one or two of you went last night.
OK, it's never going to be like it was when Stuart was alive,
but the lads put on good show. Nice venue as well.
