In this first episode, we explore the extraordinary – and ultimately tragic-life of Stuart Adamson, the voice behind some of the most powerful anthems of a generation.
From his early days with Skids, through the soaring success of Big Country, Stuart carved out a sound unlike anything else – guitars that echoed like bagpipes, songs that carried both pride and pain. But behind the music lay a far more complex and troubled story.
This episode traces his rise from working-class Scotland to global fame, the pressures of success, and the personal battles that would follow him throughout his life.
This is not just a story about music.
It’s a story about identity, struggle… and the cost of being heard.
