"Carlisle was the first of our many English dates. Not sure what we expected but never quite expected a "top notch"
audience like that. They were amazing! Had the chance to speak to some fans before the gig, great people all round, great
supporters of Simple Minds. Many familiar faces from those who travel far and wide to see us. We are really
blown away by their effort and support." - Jim, 29th March 2013.

There were problems with the sound during War Babies and
Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel so the band took a break
whilst the issues were sorted out. THis lead to the re-ordering of the tracks for the second half
of the set.
"Enjoyed it immensely. Beautiful venue and as always the audience so generous. Scotland next - Aberdeen and
Dundee await." - Jim, 1st April 2013.

"Ipswich was a great one to end this fantastic tour. The equipment is already packed up
and on its way to the studio and by Monday we will be working on new music. Why stop?
Thanks to all our crew - thanks above all to all our fans. - Jim, 5th May 2013
"Starting almost seven weeks ago in a raw and bitterly cold Dublin, and due to end this weekend in what is
predicted to be a gloriously sunny Ipswich, I cannot recall any previous tour being so good. That of course is
really saying something bearing in mind how much we have enjoyed touring throughout our career."
"The highlight for me was witnessing how much the band (musicians) have raised the bar over the last weeks
and I really believe that the current Simple Minds set has superseded any previous as a result of
their effort. GG, our live sound engineer, and Stephen Pollard
who designs the set lighting, produced great work every night, we owe so much credit to them and the entire production
crew who share in our philosophy that every single gig has to be given a full 100% effort."
"Of course there is more to our live events that what is seen on stage. The management and agent who work for months
in advance, prepare it all so well to the extent is that really all is taken care of and all we have to worry about
is turning up and "doing our thing." Nevertheless, we appreciate the efforts of all who work on our behalf, not forgetting
the wardrobe, caterers, merchandisers, and drivers."
"Finally, what point would there be in any of this without people turning up to watch and listen? No point
is the answer. But thankfully all the way from Dublin and continuing throughout, we walked out on stage every night
to be met with venues that were packed with people who seemed delighted in to be the under the same roof as us. If only I
had the skill to describe to you even remotely how great that feels. Or for that matter, how much we appreciate those welcomes."
"And so, until November when we will return to the UK and do it all again, once again, thank you very, very much!"- Jim, 3rd May 2013
