The "Peace In Our Time" Tour 1989


During this tour I saw Big Country three times. The first was when they played in my home town at a theatre that I would later work at in 1993 (if only it'd been earlier I could have got in free...). The next was at the Oxford Apollo and I could only get seats in the 'gods' so I couldn't get any decent photos. The last was at Guilford Civic Hall but we were not allowed to take cameras in. A huge bouncer was searching everybody and making them take cameras back to their cars. I can't imagine why, I know there are 'rules' at all these events but no-one ever minds and even the band don't care.... The support band "Cry Before Dawn", an Irish group, were very good too - click on their name to visit a site that I have created about them. Click on the thumbnails to see the full-size pictures.

Stuart
Stuart outside the Apollo signing stuff and chatting after the show. One guy had even brought his electric guitar along to be signed! And I'd met this guy before at the "Wired!" recording - I was right behind him at the front so he must be (or have been) a member of Country Club to be at the recording, but I don't remember his name...
