Scott Pattison is a lifelong musician and member of December, a Scottish band who garnered a lot of attention when they began doing tributes to U2 in addition to their original material.   

In 2018 the band appeared on the radar of many a Big Country fan, when they released their hauntingly beautiful rendition of In A Big Country.   

I was very pleased to have this conversation with Scott, talking fandom, the origins of their version of IABC, and of course, U2.
