Simple Minds? I'd forgot about them.

Is it an 80s revival?

Last I heard, Jim "Juan" Kerr was running a hotel in Cyprus or somehere.

Saw them a few years back in Charlecote Park. They were fantastic. Going to the NEC in Nov.

Didn't realise they were still alive and kicking tbh.

Last time i saw them was in the early 90's at Wembley.
Mr Carr had been on both the pies and Patsy a bit to much by the looks of it. He looked knackered about half way through the set.......

Cheers.

Saw these at The Apollo, Oxford i 1982 ... superb. Not the same since Derek Forbes left though - man he could play bass.

He owns a very nice, friendly hotel in Taormina in Sicily. Well worth a visit.
