Experience one of the most successful English live acts of all time with their unmistakable mix of soul, funk and reggae and their biggest hits.
Simply Red, fronted by Mick Hucknall, is one of the most successful English live acts of all time. Their unmistakable sound and the redhead's unique soul voice make them world stars. “We look forward to performing again for our audience next summer. The tour is one groove,” explains Mick Hucknall. The band's impressive live shows are filled with love for music, enthusiasm and energy.
Simply Red have delivered an emotional soundtrack of their time with their timeless music, a stirring mixture of soul and pop, ballads that are as elegant as they are sensitive. Her more than 100 single and album chart successes reached a total circulation of more than 60 million. Dozens of gold and platinum awards stand for their worldwide success.
They broke through with their debut album Picture Book and 1985 single Money's Too Tight (To Mention) with an R&B groove. The million-selling funk genre Men And Women (1987) and smash hits A New Flame (1989) and Stars (1991) struck a perfect balance between genres. Even when Simply Red provided references to modern dance music with the global No. 1 hit "Fairground" and the album "Life" in 1995, they remained true to their unmistakable sound. Mick Hucknall has delivered notable interpretations such as "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now" as well as his homage to the influential Bobby 'Blue' Bland or his American Soul Album.
