Biografie - simply red.

Die Konstante der Band Simply Red ist ihr Sänger, Anführer und Namensgeber: Mick Hucknall ist nicht nur ein einzigartiger Musiker und Texter, sondern sorgt auch dafür, dass Simply Red nach fast 40 Jahren Bandgeschichte immer noch frisch und aufregend klingen.

Soul, Pop, Jazz: Simply Red sind in vielen Genres zuhause . Der Sound der 1984 gegründeten Band ist unverkennbar – ein entscheidender Grund dafür ist Frontmann Mick Hucknall, der das einzig verbliebene Originalmitglied ist und Simply Red nicht nur optisch seinen Stempel aufdrückt. Der Bandname geht auf die feuerrote Haarpracht Hucknalls zurück und etabliert sich nach einigen Auftritten – pünktlich zum Debütalbum „Picture Book“.

Das Album erscheint 1985 und macht Simply Red auf einen Schlag berühmt. Insbesondere durch die Singles „Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)“ und „Holding Back The Years“ feiert die Band erste Erfolge – nicht nur in der britischen Heimat, sondern auch im europäischen Ausland und den USA. Auch die beiden Nachfolger „Men And Women“ aus dem Jahr 1987 und „A New Flame“ im Jahr 1989 finden gleichermaßen Zustimmung bei Fans und Kritikern.

Eine der größten Bands der 1990er

Der endgültige Durchbruch gelingt dann Anfang der 1990er-Jahre. Zunächst gewinnen Simply Red für ihre Coverversion des Songs „If You Don‘t Know Me By Now“ einen Grammy . Dann erscheint ein Jahr später „Stars“, welches zum meistverkauften Album 1991 und 1992 in Großbritannien avanciert. Touren von Simply Red füllen weltweit die Hallen und begeistern die Zuschauer.

Einen persönlichen Traum erfüllt sich Mick Hucknall 1996: Die Band des bekennenden Fußballfans steuert mit „We’re In This Together“ die offizielle Hymne zur Europameisterschaft im eigenen Land bei. Dazu spielen Simply Red eine Show in Old Trafford, dem Stadion von Hucknalls Lieblingsverein Manchester United.

Nach 25 Jahren ein Abschied auf Zeit

Nach einigen weiteren Alben, einer Greatest-Hits-Compilation und zahlreichen erfolgreichen Singles und Coverversionen erscheint 2003 mit „Home“ das erste Album, das Simply Red selbst veröffentlichen. Es wird nicht über eine große Plattenfirma verkauft, sondern lediglich über das eigene Label der Band vertrieben. Die unzähligen Fans weltweit sorgen allerdings dafür, dass auch diese Platte zu einem Erfolg wird.

Trotzdem gibt Mick Hucknall 2007 bekannt, dass das 25-jährige Jubiläum zwei Jahre später auch das Ende der Band markieren soll. Der Sänger, der bereits seit vielen Jahren das einzig verbliebene Originalmitglied ist, möchte von nun an unter seinem eigenen Namen auftreten und Musik veröffentlichen.

Auch aufgrund der großen Nachfrage zieht sich die Abschiedstournee allerdings bis ins Jahr 2010. Nach acht Monaten und 78 Konzerten weltweit treten Simply Red am 19. Dezember 2010 zum vorerst letzten Mal auf. Die Show in der o2 Arena in London wird zusätzlich landesweit auch in vielen Kinos übertragen.

Seit 2015 sind Simply Red wieder aktiv

Besonders lange hält es Mick Hucknall allerdings nicht ohne seine Band aus. Die Trennung dauert nur fünf Jahre, dann folgen nicht nur eine weitere Welttournee, sondern auch das neue Album „Big Love“. Die Platte und ihr Nachfolger „Blue Eyed Soul“ von 2019 zeigen eindrucksvoll, dass Hucknall und seine Band nichts verlernt haben.

Tickets für Simply Red sind nach wie vor Verkaufsschlager: Die beeindruckenden Live-Shows der Band stecken voller Liebe zur Musik, Enthusiasmus und Energie – und begeistern sowohl alte als auch neue Fans.

Simply Red Fan-Report: Bewertungen und Rezensionen

1167 bewertungen (ø 4,4).

Wir waren jetzt schon 2 mal.Ich kann nur sagen,absolute Spitze.MH braucht bißchen Anlauf und dann ist er voll dabei.Die Bünenaufmachung ist auch ein Augenschmaus.Ich würde immer wieder zu einem Konzert gehen.Es lohnt sich.

Traumhafte Location

Ein Event auf der Burg Clam in Österreich ist immer einen Besuch wert. Traumhaft schöne Kulisse, perfekte Organisation und ich fühle mich als Frau ohne Begleitung immer sehr wohl. Simply Red war ein Ohrenschmaus! Ich fühlte mich bei den Klassikern um Jahrzehnte zurück versetzt. Allerdings muss ich sagen, ich war nicht 100 sicher, dass Mick wirklich alles noch echt live gesungen hat. Manches Mal war das Micro dich sehr weit weg für den starken Sound, den es angeblich übermittelt hat. Aber: ob Playback oder nicht, es war ein rundum tolles Erlebnis!

Wetter war ok die Music einfach toll

Simply Red is an English pop band emphasizing genres ranging from reggae rock, New Romantic, and Jazz. Perhaps the band’s biggest source of inspiration is soul music. They frequently cite monolith artists like Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye as influences, having incorporated many of their recording techniques into their sound.

Before lead singer Mike Hucknall formed Simply Red he was in a punk band called the Frantic Elevators. This project was largely spawned as a reaction to the inspirational 1976 Manchester Sex Pistol’s concert of which members of the Fall, the Smiths, and Joy Division were also in attendance. The group had a 7 year career, but never broke into the mainstream; however, their final single “Holding Back the Years” was a critical sensation and was revived by Hucknall’s new group Simply Red.

Simply Red was assembled by both Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman. Hucknall acted as the key creative figure behind the project acting in conjunction with a variety of session and touring musicians. The harsher textures and barren structures of Hucknall’s punk group seemed to be flipped inside out with Simply Red. The sound typified by this project was lushly produced and exhibited a certain smoothness heard from artists like Barry White, The Temptations, and even crooners like Tom Jones.

In addition to Hucknall, the lineup was initially comprised of keyboardist Fritz McIntyre and ex-The Drutti Column band mates: bassist Tony Bowers, brass player Tim Kellett, and drummer Chris Joyce.

The band signed a record deal with Elektra and released two singles “Red Box” and The Valentine Brother’s cover “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)”. The latter single was a worldwide commercial success and entered the UK and Irish Top 20. It also appeared on the band’s studio debut “Picture Book” along with the Talking Head’s cover “Heaven” and a revamping of “Holding Back the Years”, which went on to top the Irish charts and place at No. 2 on the UK charts.

Simply Red’s 2nd studio album saw release in 1987 and adopted a cleaner, sophisticated soul sound. The standout single “The Right Thing” was another boost in the band’s career, reaching #11 on the UK and #26 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band’s shift towards sophisticated pop was becoming even more evident with their cover of Cole Porter’s jazz-pop standard “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”.

By the time the group released their third album “A New Flame”, it seemed that they were striving to take the charts by storm even if that meant risking artistic experimentation. Their leap into the homogeny of adult-contemporary seemed to be an advantageous career move. They scored another No.1 hit with their cover of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and established themselves as one of the biggest pop acts in the UK.

When Simply Red’s next album “Stars” was released in 1991 the band didn’t necessarily identify as a band. Rather Simply Red was perceived as the music project of Hucknall. At this point most of the original members of the group had left including Bowers and Joyce who were replaced with Shaun Ward and Gota Yashiki. Despite the major reconstruction in the line up “Stars” proved to be the most commercially successful album of Simply Red’s career, becoming the best selling album in Europe for 2 years and producing a whopping 5 Top 40 singles in the UK.

Simply Red saw their first UK No. 1 single with “Fairground”, which spearheaded the release of their 1995 studio album “Life”. This record became a massive hit as well and was documented as the 4th best selling album in the UK at the time. A greatest hits collection followed in 1996, featuring the Aretha Franklin cover “Angel” on which the neo-soul group the Fugees made an appearance. The trend of releasing covers clearly seemed to work for the group and in 1998 they put out the album “Blue”, which contained revisions of Neil Young, Albert Hammond, and Gregory Isaacs tracks.

The album “Love and Russian Winter” followed a year later, but did not produce any significant hits (at least comparative to their prior releases). Though the group continued to tour they delayed album production for a while (which can possibly be attributed to their expulsion from East West Records).

Simply Red’s next studio album “Home” came out in 2003 and went Platinum twice over in the UK and reached Gold status in many other countries. 2005’s “Simplified” consisted primarily of re-workings of the group’s older material, but also contained 4 newly written songs as well as a cover of Leon Russell’s “My Perfect Love”. “Stay” came out 2 years later, reaching gold status in the UK, Poland, and Italy. One year later the band offered another retrospect of their career, releasing their second greatest hits album “Simply Red 25: The Greatest Hits”.

Live reviews

Simply Red was, strangely, the soundtrack to my childhood summer holidays, not really your typical teenage confession, but it’s true. To be fair, this was my parents’ doing - and something that I resented for quite some time before I finally just accepted the fact that I love the enigma that is Mick Hucknall. There – I said it; I love him, he is one smooth ginger fox. So in 2010 when his Simply Red farewell tour came to the Birmingham NIA, I was there, along with all the family. Mick being the only original Simply Red band member left, it made sense that the name should retire after a final tour but the audience seemed sad and sentimental nonetheless. I, too, was glad and sad in equal measure knowing that this was my first and last experience of Simply Red live. The show reflected this nostalgic tone; the set included all the hits like “Your Mirror,” “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and, my personal favourite, “Stars;” the audience sang along as best they could but Mick’s slick and soulful vocals rang out above it all. It goes without saying that the musical talent of the backing band was second to none and the subtle, sophisti-pop supported Mick’s voice impeccably. Perhaps the best part of the show, though, was with the last track, “Holding Back The Years,” as a montage of social and political images, news footage and historic events that spanned the same time frame as Simply Red’s career made up the back drop of the stage. - The perfect way to commemorate a hugely successful career in a way that was wholly relatable and sentimental for each audience member, too.

Report as inappropriate

Simply Red is one of the UK's most recognisable bands who enjoyed massive success globally in the late 80s to early 90s. Fronted by the ginger haired Mick Hucknall, the group successfully merged the genres of new romantic, rock, reggae and jazz into an overall radio friendly, easy listening sound. Years later they continue to tour and although the original lineup may have changed quite dramatically, Mick remains the ever present force and he is accompanied by some fantastic musicians this evening.

Although it is almost thirty years since Simply Red began performing, Mick's silky smooth vocal does not appear to have aged one bit and should he need any break this evening there is a 1000 strong choir ready to help him out with the choruses to classics such as 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'. The setlist is made up of hits and this means the audience feel included throughout as they bellow back the well known new romantic classics. Hucknall is a wonderfully warm frontman and keeps the stage chatter going all evening before bidding a final farewell as the introduction to the much loved 'Fairground' begins.

A beautifully played music concert, in a poorly managed commercial scheme:

Music: 10/10

Mick Hucknall has excelled once again, communicating well with the audience, with his great songs, lyrics and his voice still in great shape. The excellent and talented Simply Red band conveys a great deal of emotion with great musical arrangements, all wrapped up in a tight, engaging rhythm, never boring! To top it up, the sound quality was very good, with low distortion and ear-friendly volume levels.

Organization and venue: 3/10

The Citibank Hall and the commercial production team in São Paulo have done an unacceptable job, selling more (expensive) tickets than the place can handle in comfort and security. Parking lot overflowed, blocking Marginal Pinheiros avenue, people took forever to get in/out. Inside the venue, an enormous crowd stood in all entrances and exits, making it impossible to get a drink or go to the restroom and return. Citibank Hall employees ignored it all and didn't move to help organize people or cars. Police and city traffic officials were also absent, or invisible.

From the moment I arrived at the O2 I had a great experience!

Simply Red were absolutely fantastic, Mick's voice as usual was brilliant the band were fabulous too.

The music and sound and light show were spot on, I was 3 rows from the front in the middle and I had a great view.

The security was good and the attendants were helpful.

My friend and I danced and sung the night away and were treated to 2 encores words are not enough!

Thank you to Mick and the O2 for such a fun and professional evening, heres hoping to get tickets in the very near future!

The show was fantastic. It is five years since Simply Red toured so this show was long overdue and it did not disappoint. Hit after hit was the order of the evening and Mick had the audience in the palm of his hand right from the start. A funny moment was when Mick forgot the running order of the songs. Hopefully this will give them a flavour of how much they are loved and they will tour again soon. It was a brilliant show and was well worth the tricky journey into the Hydro

Fantastic show worth the trip over from the states. Mick’s voice and performance was just as good as when he was young. We would do it again in a heart beat, wish they’d tour the United States, or maybe do one of the wildly Popular music cruises

Wow... Utterly amazing! Clever setlist playing the ballads at the opening then the boogie hits all the way through. Hucknall's voice was spot on. Great to see a band of 30 years plus still delivering its music with plenty of honesty live.

This was about the seventh time I have seen Simply Red in concert and they still smash it every time. The band was awesome, the crowd were awesome, Mick Hucknall was beyond awesome. It was a perfect night at the Manchester Arena.

Thursday 14th June 2016, Edinburgh Castle. Great gig, Mick's voice is amazing and still as powerful and soulful as ever, Band were also fab. All the best songs, real crowd pleasers - would delicately see them again.

Amazing concert! Simply Red are in excellent shape! I was truly surprised how good they sound live! They played most of their most recognizable songs. The concert lasted almost 2 hours. Great experience! :)
