A FULL amateur filmed gig from 1991 in Munich has appeared on YouTube. I only stumbled upon it late last night so I haven’t watched much of it. Enough of it to see he was in full scissor kick glory that night – two of them in the space of three minutes. Which then obviously…
I’m not really sure what *is* left? This site has become stagnant. Gigs are on hold. There is NOTHING coming from the official channels from Simple Minds – now suddenly after 9 years on Facebook is now being referred to as just “Simple Minds” rather than “Simple Minds Official”.

At last! Some more rescheduled date information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As follows: These are mostly for German, French and other continental dates that were imminent, as well as the UK and Irish dates too.

With the escalating cases of Covid-19 and the Danish government advising the curbing of public gatherings of 1000+ people, it was looking unlikely that the Simple Minds gig in Copenhagen was going to go ahead. It was a concern to travel already. Both of us were well but who knows what others were like and…

Just ONE song I would sell a kidney to hear played live. But then again, it’s probably best left in 1981 and I get a TARDIS…
