4 Tickets to one of Simple Minds' Summer shows + VIP goodie bag
4 Tickets for a date of your choice (dates here: https://www.simpleminds.com/tour/) plus VIP Merchandise goodie bag. These will be guest list tickets so in a great location. Simple Minds have experienced a remarkable journey since releasing their debut album ‘Life in a Day‘ in 1979. Constantly evolving, the band’s rousing choruses and booming atmospherics made them one of the most iconic bands of the Eighties. Along the way, they’ve landed five UK #1 albums, topped the singles charts on both sides of the Atlantic, sold over 60 million albums and packed stadiums the world over. But the story didn’t end there. After taking some time out, they returned revitalised and resurgent with the 2014 album ‘Big Music’ and have maintained that upward momentum ever since. They claimed the Q Inspiration Award that same year, which was followed by an Ivor Novello in 2016. And when 2018’s ‘Walk Between Worlds‘ album crashed into the UK charts at #4, it represented their highest position in 23 years. No wonder that the Manic Street Preachers, Moby, Primal Scream and many others cite Simple Minds as a vital inspiration.

These immersive installations will transport you into Kusama’s unique vision of endless reflections. Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life is one of Kusama’s largest installations to date and was made for her 2012 retrospective at Tate Modern.

It is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre, with vinification in old concrete and the wine aged in a combination of old foudres and older French burgundy barrels. The wines are increasingly difficult to get hold of - fantastically complex and capable of decades of development.
