In 1978, Laurie Evans was the in-house music photographer for the Edinburgh "what’s on" magazine City Lynx. As such, Laurie was on hand to capture some of the earliest images of Simple Minds at various gigs at Glasgow’s Mars Bar and the Astoria in Edinburgh’s Abbeyhill.
Laurie has opened her archive to us and we’ve collected these images together for the first time and produced a beautiful little photobook that features many previously unseen images of the band from those early days. The second print of “Pleasantly Disturbed” (HA031X) is now available.
