Simple Minds Direction Of The Heart BBC Breakfast 2022

Jim and Charlie from Simple Minds chat to Charlie on BBC Breakfast about the album Direction Of The Heart October 2022

They're a wonderful band! 40 plus years later they just don't quit!

[stevenbucknell]

You can sum them up with one word
BRILLIANT

[josephmotwani]

The bond between Jim Kerr & Charlie Burchill is extraordinary & touching.

Direction of the Heart, in at No. 4 in the charts this wk. Epic.

Seems to be some debate/confusion in the music press about whether it's studio album No 18, 19 or 20. Depends on whether you include 1981's Sons & Fascination/Sister Feelings Call as 2 separate albums and whether or not you include 2016's Acoustic. Also, of course, there's Our Secrets Are the Same, only ever released as part of 2004's Silver Box, which could even take it to 21.

Jim's got the promo skills down too. Slips the last question and changes back to the new album again. These two are great and soundtracked my 80's teenage decade

I grow up up with the band simple minds

[sjd]

Probably still my No. 1 band for me, especially their early stuff, and in particular, Book of Brilliant Things.

[jennywallis]

Legends, saw them yrs ago, they nearly lifted the roof off the venue, great sounds.

I love you, Simple Minds. And thank you BBC for this wonderful interview 💖💜💙❤️

[djmull]

It's refreshing to hear someone say they were looked after when young rather than being treated badly.

Charlie’s brother Jamie was a plumber living in Cardiff in the 1990’s. He fitted a new bathroom suite for us in 1992. Saw my guitars and asked if I played in a band and then casually mentioned that his brother was in a band…..Simple Minds. My wife and I were huge fans and have seen them many times over the years. They still cut it !!

[effkay]

Simply the Best. Bands that were with you growing up are like an old friend.
