Simple Minds bring Big Music to Plymouth

BIG MUSIC released through Caroline International is Simple Minds’ 16th album. It’s a swaggering collection that reiterates the band’s world-class credentials; a culmination of a decade of stealthy rediscovery that has seen the band make two albums, 2005'sBlack & White 050505 and 2009's Graffiti Soul, before reminding us all of their legacy with the acclaimed X5 boxed set and subsequent 5X5 Live album and tour.  BIG MUSIC sees the band rekindling the energy and attitude, the mystery and magic that made them one of the greatest bands on the planet. You can catch their return to Plymouth Pavilions on Friday 17 April 2015.

With a touring cast that now sees Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill joined by stalwart drummer Mel Gaynor, keyboardist Andy Gillespie, Ged Grimes, backing vocalistsSarah Brown and Catherine AD (additional keys and guitar). Simple Minds have a settled line-up that re-affirms their status as one of the great live bands. Made with an array of collaborators old and new – including co-writer Iain Cook (of Glasgow band Chvrches) and producers Steve Osborne, Andy Wright and Steve Hillage (who worked on 1981's Sons And Fascination / Sister Feelings Call)  – BIG MUSIC is an irresistible mix of artistry and accessibility.

Simple Minds are “widely regarded as one of the best live bands in the world” (BBC Breakfast) and over a thirty year career have been responsible for some of the most innovative and enduring anthems in rock music.  Last year the band played to 130,000 people in the UK alone – the most ever in one year. This new tour for 2015 sees them play 29 dates across the UK start March 27th through to May 4th.
