"Trevor Horn, is of course yet another who produced
Simple Minds. It is he (and Stephen Lipson) who deserve
the credit for our Street Fighting Years album which featured
Belfast Child,
Mandela Day and
This Is Your Land. They both put so much thought and time into
Simple Minds - in a period where in someways we were sadly in the process of coming apart at the seams.
Trevor also produced so many of my fave 80's defining records. Including
Grace Jones, Malcolm McLaren, Yes, ABC, and
Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Particularly Frankie - what a sound that debut album had!
In any case Trevor, who also plays bass and has his own touring band, is currently
adding our very own Waterfront to his live set which also features
much of the songs that he produced. Known more as "a studio beast" a recent article in Glasgow's Herald newspaper
detailed how Trevor, whose music somewhat defined the 1980s, says that now
playing live is therapeutic after the death of his wife Jill - who incidentally was also a great supporter of
Simple Minds, someone who we also admired very much." - Jim, 21st July 2017
