Britain's What's On Event Guide
SIMPLE MINDS + Big Country + Hue & Cry
Simple Minds will perform a very special outdoor show in the grounds of Audley End in Saffron Walden, Essex, as part of this summer’s Heritage Live concert series.
The iconic group will perform on Thursday 11th August 2022, set to the stunning backdrop of one of England’s grandest mansions in the heart of the stunning Essex countryside. Very special guests for the evening will be Big Country with special guest The Skids’ frontman Richard Jobson, Hue and Cry, Joanna Eden Band and Caezar.
Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Capturing the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer.
They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with ‘Don't You (Forget About Me)’ and followed suit in the UK with ‘Belfast Child’. In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK – ‘Sparkle In The Rain’, ‘Once Upon A Time’ and ‘Street Fighting Years’ – a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album ‘Live In The City Of Light’ and the compilation ‘Glittering Prize’.
