Big Country Lineup Shake Up

10/05/2012
. (Classic Rock) Big Country have split with original bassist Tony Butler and manager Ian Grant, with Simple Minds man Derek Forbes becoming the latest addition to the band.

He joins Alarm frontman Mike Peters, founding members Bruce Watson and Mark Brzezicki plus Bruce's son Jamie.

The band will unveil their new lineup at a free concert on New Year's Eve in Inverness, bringing to an end a period of speculation which they admit has seemed "fractious" and "confusing".
