Bucks Music publish the 2002 album “Cry”, the 2005 album “Black & White 050505” and “Graffiti Soul”, the band’s 15th studio album since their debut album “Life In A Day” (1979). This album celebrated 30 years of recording albums for Simple Minds.

Looking back on career highlights of more that thirty years, Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr says, “Getting the opportunity to sing with such great artists as Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and Iggy Pop was a thrill. But the real highlight was to sing for both Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.”
