New York, NY(rushprnews)11/28/2006

The line-up of the band is:

Also the band has a female bagpipe player that performs with them live!

Both Simple Minds and Big Country were top-selling international acts with
#1 hits in the U.S. and Big Country was nominated for 2 Grammy awards and the bands combined for over 40,000,000 records sold world-wide! Big Country's biggest hit, "In a Big
Country" has just last month begun a run as the music for Kohl's Department stores
national TV campaign!

They just finished four tracks (masters) in September at Foundry Music Lab
in Scotland. Their live show (they've done a few shows in the UK already this summer - big outdoor gigs) and new original songs have been getting a phenomenal response so far! The live show features all their new original stuff plus a selection of songs from the bands they helped form or played in such as Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me", Waterfront", "Love Song" and "Someone Somewhere in Summertime" and Big Country's "In a Big Country", "Fields of Fire" and "Chance".
