Okay I was secretly quite looking forward to seeing the Eighties heroes again, but I was expecting hem to be dire. I was very wrong it was a great choice of headliner and Jim and the boys may be older but they still put on a strong performance.



Each song was extended to draw in audience participation with few gaps between them for us to even applaud! Even those of us who pretended not to know any Simple Minds songs soon discovered they were singing along to this greatest hits set.



Greatest hits indeed! Encapsulating that 80’s sound that everyone from Spandau Ballet to Roxy Music had then it was a case of hit after hit with an encore of yes, even more hits! Add some great music, lights, smoke and some classic rock poses and there you have it a worthy headliner and we all walked away happy.
