BC are playing at The Studio end of November, but it's sold out.
If anyone here has tickets and find they can't go then please post here and I will buy them off you.

Obviously the are not the same without main man Stuart but still a great live band with great songs.

Cheers.

2nd favourite Scottish band behind Simple Minds.
But in front of Deacon Blue.
3 great gruops/bands.
Should be a good gig even without the legend SA.

I've seen them twice. Stuart was brilliant and sadly missed.

He was super cool. When I saw them at Leeds there was a fight in the Mosh Pit, Stuart stopped the band, gave them a talking to, made them stop the violence and I think shake hands and then (most impressively) clicked his fingers and the band started playing in the exact same place as they'd stopped. I think the song was "Look Away"

I spoke to their sound guy last year, he told me that the new version of the band is very good.

Saw them this year at Wylam Brewery. They were brilliant. Just seen Deacon Blue in Leeds - they were excellent too.

The "Without the aid of a safety net" live album is one of the best I've heard.
Such a talented band. Tony was a beast of bass player. Mark an incredible drummer.

Also, the 1993 hard rock Buffalo Skinners album is excellent, with Simon Phillips on drums:
