Jo Whiley presents Simple Minds live in concert from the Hackney Empire in London. The band perform a very special acoustic set of some of their biggest hits from the last three decades, and what's more this is their only UK show of 2016. They're also releasing a brand new one-off album of stripped down and re-imagined songs from across their career, Jim Kerr said - "The synths are no more - but the Celtic soul remains." They recorded the album in Jim's home city of Glasgow, in Gorbals Studio, a former railway workers' social club where Jim and Charlie played their first gig, as teenagers in a school glam-rock band.
The start of Simple Minds Acoustic can be traced back to a rare live session the band recorded for the Chris Evans Breakfast Show in September 2014, promoting their 16th album, BIG MUSIC. The reaction, to the band's surprise, was favourable.
