SoSimpleMinded.com T-shirt: 30 Years Live


SoSimpleMinded.com 30 Years Live Tour T-Shirt

As you all may know, we have been talking about making some SoSimpleMinded.com t-shirts for the upcoming 30th anniversary tour in November / December. Many designs were sent in and eventually the Staff have come up with a front and back design, which we hope you, will like.

Details of the design and costs can be found here.

We do not expect to make any money on this after deducting our costs for the shirts, packaging and postage, but if there is any left over, we intend to put it towards a childrens charity.

We will only order shirts for which we have received payments.

Friday 26th September is the last day to place your order and payments to come in

Orders will be posted during the last week of October.

If you have any questions please ask on the Forum.

Sons of Dan/ Fourgoodmen Extravaganza

It will be a very interesting day for those in Glasgow on 4 Dec 2008.

First of all Simple Minds are playing at the SECC where you can expect to hear all of New Gold Dream.

Secondly and unrelated to the Simple Minds show a post by Derek Forbes on the Fourgoodmen forum has suggested that, Fourgoodmen and Sons of Dan will be playing two gigs - one before the Simple Minds show and one after. Details to be confirmed but tracks from the Simple Minds album "Sons and Fascination" have been mentioned. More details to follow.

This looks like a fantastic day for Simple Minds fans with more live Simple Minds music in one day than you could wish for.
