Simple Minds do Black Adder back in the day - and they're off on tour

Remember Black Adder 1? Jim Kerr does - they nicked his image and he didn't get a penny in compensation. Don't believe me? Check out the video below from 1979.

Why am I rambling about Simple Minds? Well, the band are 30 years old and are going out on tour to celebrate - playing material from all their albums, even the post punk doodlings of Life In A Day. I bet that goes down well with the Belfast Child-loving arena crowd.

Dates are: Thurs Nov 27th – Manchester MEN Arena Fri Nov 28th – Birmingham NEC Sat Nov 29th – London Wembley Arena Mon Dec 1st – Sheffield Arena Tuesday Tue Dec 2nd – Cardiff Arena Thurs Dec 4th – Glasgow SECC.

I don't think we'll see you there.
