Photos - Filming for Channel 4's "Wired"

Pinewood Studios, Iver, Bucks, filming for Channel 4's "Wired", 17th August 1988

This was the first time that I saw Big Country live. I was fortunate enough to be selected by the computer at Country Club to receive tickets. My friend Chris and I had a pleasant day out travelling through the countryside and visiting Windsor Castle whilst making our way to the studios. We saw Siouxsie and the Banshees and Londonbeat before Big Country finally came on to record "King Of Emotion". They then treated us to an impromptu gig for about an hour! They also played "Peace In Our Time" live for the first time! It was an altogether fantastic experience.
