"After a long break - it's going to feel like the first day at school again. Or rather it will tonight! For tonight is when we thankfully get to begin our tour. And we really are going to have to go and learn how to do it all again."

"Learn what? Learn how to be a great live band once again of course."

"Not that we haven't been doing some studying in advance. 'Rock school' began for some of us a heck of a long time ago; and having already performed thousands of concerts, it means we already know a few things about how to put together 'a good show.'"

"Or at least we did in the past. What about now? Well, you can be the judge of that. But go easy at first please!"

"You remember the first day of the new term at school right? It took you a little while to get your bearings again; and how you needed to get back into the rhythm of things. Your new blazer and new shoes all felt a bit stiff etc. New books and school bag needed to be worn-in a little. You know what I'm talking about, that's how opening nights on tour feels."

"What else to say? We could not be more excited at the prospect. Absolutely fresh and ready to go! So thanks to all of you who are planning on coming to see Simple Minds, especially those who are travelling from far and wide. Hope to see you out there somewhere!" - Jim, 31st March 2022

"It is said that in space no one can hear you scream! Back on earth no one could hear us play one note of our precious (to us) music over these last two years. Hence the joy felt at finally being able to return to performing live concerts, where looking out from stage it's apparent that we are not the only ones feeling that joy. I had never taken for granted the sensation of witnessing arenas full of people jumping up and down and singing along to our songs. Energised by the music, and for all I know, possibly forgetting their problems of the day; or the problems of the world dammit? In any case, it's been nothing short of wonderful to be able to experience all of that once again. Off to a great start then! Thanks to all in both London and Bournemouth for making us feel so good these past two nights. Hope to see you out there somewhere!" - Jim, 1st April 2022

"Transformation is a recurring theme within Simple Minds. Starting out we wanted to live our lives being punky, promiscuous, and rampantly hedonistic - and there was an edge of darkness attached to those times. But that's a whole other story! Talking of transformation - of a different kind? We sense it happening in the audience each night of this tour as the music works its spell." - Jim, 5th April 2022

"Wales will always mean a lot to Simple Minds - going way way back to our very beginnings when we used to play pubs and clubs in places such as Newport and Port Talbot etc - finding audiences willing to encourage us even when we were 'still learning our trade.' A packed arena in CARDIFF last night left us feeling humbled by the reaction they gave to this latest version of Simple Minds.

"We'll say goodbye to the UK tonight in Liverpool! (Going on stage at 7:45) The reaction to the tour over these last weeks has been nothing less than mesmerizing - and not something we are likely to forget. Ever! A huge thanks then to all of our fans. Those who were seeing us for the first time and of course those who have followed us through the years and decades We are already looking forward to returning for a few summer shows. Hope to see you there... Thank you all again!" - Jim, 16th April 2022

"Simple Minds have had innumerable great gigs over the years in Liverpool. Last night (possibly) topped them all. What a great way to say goodbye to the UK! Thanks to all who came to see us.

"Simple Minds will play to over 15,000 people tonight in Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome. Amazing, especially when considering that there were less than 15 people in total at our very first gig in Amsterdam in 1980 - playing in the tiny Melkweg club. Regardless of how few people were there on that night, those that were encouraged us immensely, and from then on Simple Minds' Dutch fans have never let us down. For that our gratitude knows no end! Expect 100 percent effort from us tonight. Heart and soul!" - Jim, 19th April 2022

"Performing in front of 19,000 people in ANTWERP means that Simple Minds will break one of their own records tonight. Hard to imagine that 41 years on from our first ever club gig in BELGIUM, we are set to play to the biggest "in door" audience of our careers. A humbling reality and for that we say a huge thanks in advance to all who are coming to the SPORTPALEIS this evening. A similar huge thanks also to all of the 15,000+ who helped 'take the roof off' in Amsterdam Ziggo last night. Hours later - we're still on a high." - Jim, 20th April 2022

"No words to describe how great we were made to feel by the audience in Antwerp last night! But we were ECSTATICALLY happy afterwards - as we have been after every show on this tour.

"It was more than 40 years ago that Simple Minds first performed in Portugal - then opening for 'our mentor' Peter Gabriel. Still young men at that time, we had no idea what would be 'coming down the road' for us as the future unfolded and our story evolved in unimaginable ways. But here we are thousands of gigs later, in a very different world, still doing what we always did - playing live music aiming to give our best every single night we go on stage - as we will tonight in Porto followed by Lisbon tomorrow. Everything changes with time but the essence and the goal of Simple Minds of becoming one of the world's great live bands - stays the same. Same as it ever was!

"Something you are born with! Artists create their own worlds. Should you be at Thuringenhalle in Erfurt, Germany tonight, you will come across a stage full of artists living their lives by doing just that - including singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Berenice Scott on tour with Simple Minds. 'You don't learn how to be an artist by going to school. It's something you're born with. It's about observing the world - but laying down your own truth.' - Bob Lefsetz" - Jim, 29th April 2022

"We are not special... we're made to feel as though we are, and of course that's a wonderful feeling to experience. But we're not special! Yes, we work our 'socks off' every time we go on stage. And yes, we don't know how to perform without giving 100% of ourselves. But the world is full of people who give their all at work every single day. And that includes all who work with us currently on this tour - from the technicians to the bus and truck drivers, including caterers and production personnel. We would be useless without the sacrifices that they make on our behalf. We are however especially lucky within the recognition that we get from the audience every night. Erfurt, Germany, was certainly the hottest and sweatiest of the tour so far. And the audience? Well, they were out of this world. Special!" - Jim, 30th April 2022

"That memoir became one of the world's first ever travel books, and unlike some of my teenage colleagues who were in awe with science fiction writing, from a young age I always seemed to be more drawn to travel literature."

"It was through reading that I could travel in my mind. Absorbing stories and experiences from those talented enough to paint pictures with words, I still like to listen to people's travel stories, and we all have them."

"Longtime friend and fan of Simple Minds, Antonio Chemi, tells a nice story about travelling all the way from Sicily to Rome, in February 1986. Not yet 16 and already passionate about Simple Minds' music, Antonio harangued his parents for approval to attend Simple Minds' (now legendary) gigs at Paleaur, in Rome."

"Chemi's (over protective) father, Giovanni, although initially negative with regards to the idea of his son travelling alone from a small provincial town to the big city, finally relented after observing just how much the chance to see Simple Minds meant to his son."

"There would be one catch however? Antonio would only be allowed to make the 750 km train journey on the condition that Giovanni - who had no interest in Simple Minds, or any kind of rock music whatsoever - accompanied him to the concert, and would remain next to him throughout with a watchful eye."

"Although not exactly what Antonio had in mind, from that scenario a beautiful tale begins. A tale best told by Antonio as he reminisces still excited today at the memory of coming across other other young Sicilians en route to Rome by train to see Simple Minds."

"Hopefully you'll be able to hear more of that story in the near future, since in someways what unfolded would later influence the story of my life. It also influenced what I consider to be the 'rebirth of Simple Minds.' Meanwhile, Antonio will only have to walk few minutes from his house to see Simple Minds perform in Taormina, Sicily, this coming July. No over night train journeys this time. And if he leaves the windows open, he (and the rest of the town) will be able to hear every note from our afternoon soundcheck as we prepare nearby for our show at the incomparable Teatro Greco." - Jim, 19th February 2020

"We can think of no better way to bring our upcoming UK/European Tour to a climax than performing not one – but now two shows at Princess Street Gardens, Edinburgh. Maximising on that rare opportunity, we aim to make the additional show even more special for our fans by playing in full a one-off performance on Saturday 13th August of our career landmark New Gold Dream (81,82,83,84) plus our greatest hits. All profits from that show will go to UNICEF – FOR CHILDREN IN UKRAINE." - Simple Minds
