Opening the night was Belfast’s own; Silent Running. It is incredible these guys supported Simple Minds during the ‘Sparkle In The Rain’ tour back in 1984.

Scottish rock titans Simple Minds made their long-awaited return to Belfast for their 40th anniversary. Jim Kerr and the crew pleased the crowd with such hits as ‘Belfast Child,’ ‘Alive & Kicking, ‘ and the huge ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me).’ Marc Leach was there to take these fantastic images.
