their farewell tour at the Sydney Opera House, on Sky Arts +1 at 1pm.

They are playing all their old hits, and its nice to hear them playing in the background.

i remember the frantic elevators doing several sessions for the BBC in the early 1980s - seek out the elevators original recording of "holding back the years", a foretaste of Mick Hucknall's later success.

John Peel hated Simply Red with a passion, but Mick Hucknall had a long association with reggae label Blood & Fire, music which John Peel did play and champion on his shows.
