Simple Minds – Star Will Lead The Way (20th July)
The 2nd single from Simple Minds’ Top 10 album ‘Graffiti Soul. Their recent performance at the Isle of Wight Festival reminded all who saw and heard it why Simple Minds were one of the biggest bands of the ‘80s. Jim Kerr and co. have a whole summer of live dates set up, including a homecoming show at Edinburgh Castle on the 18th of July, where they will perform their landmark album ‘New Gold Dream’ in full. Hear Free Live Music from Simple Minds and watch the band chat to Ben Jones
Madness – Sugar And Spice (3rd August)
Madness’s new album ‘The Liberty of Norton Folgate’, their first in 10 years, has been one of the most well-received of their career – especially the 10 minute title track. ‘Sugar And Spice’ is another album highlight – and sounds like classic Madness. Following their brilliant Glastonbury performance, the Nutty Boys host another huge ‘Madstock’ event on the 17th of July in Victoria Park, London.
The Original Sinners – One Last Dream (out now)
The Original Sinners were the winners of this year’s ‘One Last Dream’ competition on Christian O’Connell’s Breakfast Show.
