Gig Review 17 March 1984 – Record Mirror: Simple Minds – Barrowland Ballroom – 2nd March

Gig Review 17 March 1984 – Record Mirror: Simple Minds – Barrowland Ballroom – 2nd March

As the new CD boxset (and other various formats of release) of Sparkle In The Rain is now imminent, I thought it apt to share a wonderful, positive gig review of the period (no date on the piece, but with the help of the Dream Giver Redux site, I’m guessing it was 2nd March, 1984).After…

Review of SITR Boxset in Q Magazine

Review of SITR Boxset in Q Magazine

Review of the Sparkle In The Rain boxset in this month’s (labelled April 2015) Q Magazine. The picture caption says (Simple Minds in 1984) – nope, 1982 that picture was taken.
