Well we're now going to see Simple Minds + OMD in December! Tickets are on presale at the moment, you need to register on simpleminds.com and the links are there. Wouldn't have known about it but it was posted on the Ultravox forum Very Happy

Just need to remember to wear warm socks and boots cos it's likely the MEN arena will have the ice rink in place, which they just put a floor over for gigs. Last time we went we almost got frostbite in our feet Laughing

oh my goodness, OMD! That's taken me back more years than I care to remember Embarassed

I went to see them at Portsmouth Guildhall back in the 80s. They were great! Which reminds me, I saw Julian Cope there too. And A-Ha. In fact I went to see A-Ha twice ... Embarassed

Oh Morten Harket and his amazing cheekbones, swoon heart

Never was much into Simple Minds though, can't think why Confused

wasn't Jim Kerr married to Patsy Kensit for a while?

But it sounds like a fab gig DC, you'll have a great time! Get yourself some handknitted socks though Shocked

LOL at KLB - Salt 'n' Pepa, definitely not the track for that occasion ROFL

Yes I think Jim was married to Patsy Kensit, way back when!

I never got to go to gigs in the early 80s, being at school and having very little money *sob* Laughing

not that I think I'd have been allowed to go on my own anyway! I've not been to that many music gigs at all, but am trying to make up for that nowadays Very Happy

I was watching the bit on the one show about ultravox tonight and it got me all nostalgic too. Might have to search out some 80s cds Laughing

I was definitely a Duran Duran baby, and I LOVED A-Ha, at least until NKOTB came along in the late 80s and they kidnapped me forever more Laughing

I still love 80s music though, and early 90s too.

Do you know, I think Linz is right - the 80's are better now than they were then - iyswim Wink

Ooooh OMD! Awesome!! I would love to see them play Cool

We're off to see The Specials in May, i'm really looking forward to it, not least because Terry Hall cracks me up Laughing

Did anyone see him on Jools Holland? Everyone else is jumping around, really animated, and he just stood there without even a smile on his face, he just looked so bored! Laughing
