Just got back from Big Country's 40th!!! Anniversary tour of 'Steeltown'.

They finished the concert with the theme tune from 'Restless Natives', cracking film, the Clown & the Wolfman - 'one more time to strathornt!'

Cracking gig - not much to do with coding - inspirational music (for me, a scotsman living in Lincs for the last 2 decades - Qube's coding competitions have kept me on the straight and narrow!)

In other news - my gravity style game now has numerous animations associated with the 2D spacships thrusters and 'rocket thruster' noise too boot!

You are not mistaken, I've got Stuart Adamson's biography that touches on his time in the Skids - amazing artist and its great Big Country have survived another 10 years with a new lead singer!
