Few bands have enjoyed the success and longevity of British soul and pop band Simply Red. With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, 1.8 billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over 1 million YouTube subscribers, Simply Red remain one of the UK’s most successful bands. Their 1991 classic Stars was the best-selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe, and every Simply Red studio album, including their latest 2023 release ‘Time’, has been a UK Top Ten. Mick Hucknall formed Simply Red in 1985 in Manchester and enjoyed early success with first single ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’ and the Brit Award-nominated album ‘Picture Book’ (the first of 13 nominations, and 3 Brit Award wins). This was followed by a decade of superstardom and global hits. Simply Red were nominated for 3 prestigious Grammy Awards and continue to consistently sell out tours across the globe. Their live show is renowned for its high quality, with Mick Hucknall long-established as one of the great vocalists of contemporary music.
