James - Can you confirm please as I best change the info on the Simple Minds forum to (don't want anyone to make a special journey to Barra and your not playing Embarassed

Yes the other dates have been postponed at the moment due to some unforeseen circumstances and issues that we have to respect.
We still hope to get up to the islands at some point this year and play the gorgeous Barra again

Sorry if you feel we were slow in getting this information out but it’s only happened this week and had to contact all the venues first.

James

AFARR

Thanks for confirming James. I know of at least one person who was planning the trip up. I have updated the Simple Minds forum with this info.

I just wish I could make the Pitlochry date (no chance for Inverness would be on that bus for a day Laughing

)

Never mind we've got Retro to look forward to haven't we girls!!! Razz

hello
Nice to have some new input from new fans going to gigs, any idea of songs played and how 4GM went down with the crowd?

nimarachael

hi Billy,
They went down a storm, everyone was up and jumping.
They played alsorts, thei stuff, simple minds, pretenders.
It was a small venue, so very up close and personal lol

Was at Hoot's last night, my first 4GM gig, brilliant show!

They've restored my faith in music!

nimarachael

I was so close to jumping in my car and heading up the A9 last night, sleeping bag and all. But had commitments that I could not get shot of.
Och well, next time.
Glad you had a good night

Loretta

Great to hear you all had good time.. would expect nothing less... Very Happy

Still recovering from what was a great night in Pitlochry. The band and all who came to see them were on top form. My camera didn't behave itself (as I found later Evil or Very Mad

). However I've been given permission to share these photos from one of my new found friends with you. Thanks to Keith Foster for the great shots on this photobucket link.

Billy - Im more than happy to set the record straight and say that Im not a new fan!!! Known Mr D and followed his music for a great many years and have been going to see 4GM as regularly as possible since 2005(?). Being a born and bred Pitters gal was over the moon that they finally made it to my part of the country altho with now being an adopted weggie Im hoping to see them a whole lot more!! Very Happy

Was at the Inverness gig last night. Superb. Best night out in Inverness for a long time. Spoke to most of the band and what a great bunch they are, so down to earth and friendly, even after being harranged by beer monsters like myself!! Cheers to Mick, Derek and co and hope to see you guys again soon. Looking forward to the new material too.

Cheers,

G

nimarachael

Thank you for the welcome Very Happy

It was not only the mind blowing music, but it was, as some one else said, the down to earth nature of theses true gentlemen, that has inspired me to log on and join in the fun.
Cant wait for the next one.

Loretta

Enjoy.

Willemina

Great to hear you all had such a wonderful time, although 4GM are amazing so we already guessed that Very Happy

. Thanks for sharing your photo's Keef, they are brilliant and welcome to new 4GM members.

Looking at those pics I noticed Derek has a "new?" hairy Sporran (maybe I shouldn't have said that because it could set some fans off Wink

) .

Hello again Foxeeeeeeeeeeeee Ladeeeeeeeee Very Happy

Oh the China's were brilliant. Me and me concert sidekick 'Billy Bootleg' were very impressed. Stayed back for signatures and got invited to the 'Sand Dancer' pub next to the venue by someone I noticed in the crowd...Paul Reynolds (Former guitarist with 'A Flock Of Seagulls).
I'll put a few photo's up in the next day or two.
But yes, a great gig!!! Cool
