A long overdue biography of my musical hero Stuart Adamson.
It would be great if his talent finally got the recognition it deserved.

But as great as Skids sounded, with that guitar energy from #StuartAdamson … I was Today Years Old when I discovered most of the lyrics to this one, because that's how impenetrable Richard Jobson's songs were. Did I know it refers to Vietnam, the iron rod, Tragen and human flares? Absolutely not.

A nice selection of gigs at the Hacienda in Manchester from November 1982. Including one from ‘The’ Big Country on the 17th. #bigcountry #stuartadamson

remembering #BigCountry frontman #StuartAdamson, who died on this day in 2001
I once told him that I loved his 1993 song "Long Way Home", which should have been a big hit

Been thinking about #StuartAdamson today, how I like to remember him, on stage with his guitar, always smiling and interacting with his fans. 24 years and it doesn't get any easier... 💔🎸🎶❤️🏁
For some reason I can't post the photograph that I have on twitter!

+++ Rest In Power - Stuart Adamson - who sadly died by his own hand, on this day, the 16th of December 2001. +++
A tribute from U2's the Edge at the time, read that Adamson with Big Country, had written the songs, that he wished U2 could write.

p.s.: probably the only #artist, who really made me feel this #special "something" in her #music currently is the #daughter of the late & great #StuartAdamson ( #ex-skids & #ex-BigCountry) with her music, who is as #outstanding as the music by #JoanBaez & #JoniMitchell imho... #KirstenAdamson ->
