Named after a lyric – ‘so simple minded’ – from David Bowie’s seminal 1972 single The Jean Genie, Simple Minds have become one of the most successful bands ever to come from the UK, selling over 60 million records worldwide, having number one singles on both sides of the Atlantic, and number one albums the world over, including five UK number one albums: Sparkle In The Rain (1984), Once Upon A Time (1985) and Street Fighting Years as well as the concert recording Live In The City Of Light (1987) and the compilation Glittering Prize 81/92. 

They have lots to boast about with being given a Q Awards Lifetime Achievement and have received universal critical acclaim for their recent albums. 

If you have a fan in the family, tickets would make for a great Christmas present.
