This track is a cover version of a track on Simple Minds ‘Street Fighting Years’ album released in 1989. The bass, keyboards and drums were created by Christophe Avril, electric and acoustic guitars played by Pete Simcoe and vocals by Iain Tucker.
[...] Pete Simcoe of the trio said “We all really love this song and I grew up learning my slide guitar skills by playing to Burchill’s classic riffs on this track and others. We started work on the cover when Chris sent me the audio file from France after playing around with the arrangement in his spare time and I then put some guitars over the top. I’ve never met the guy but its a sort of European ‘collaboration to show our appreciation’. Iain, who I recently met at an open mic night came along and sorted the vocal in a couple of takes so its a curious meeting of similar minds as it were.” Pete went onto say, “The whole project is for fun and for the fans of this track! We’re hoping the band give it a listen and wonder what their take on it might be.”
