Hello Will! Agree, they are fantastic live! Can I ask you: did you feel comfortable going to a concert now that we still have Omicron around? I want to go and see him at the O2 this weekend but feel uneasy about sitting down for two hours with 20k people (even If I wear a mask). How was the experience for you?

[@willlowbridge350]

@@PedroCaiado hi, I was a little cautious at first, however, the venue imo had very good ventilation, I also feel I have done all I can to minimize risk with my own health inc. vax, and boost jabs. And lastly we only have one life and experiences are important. To look back on and to feel connected. So go to the O2. Enjoy and take all the precautions you want. But do take the chance to see not just a great singer but also to feel a connection with all the rest of the audience it is a major part to see how similar we all are. Go well, cheers.

Fascinating interview. Mick Hucknall and Simply Red have produced some timeless music, Money Too Tight to Mention instantly relatable if you grew up pre 1990s and the struggles of working class poverty, Holding Back The Years hits the nail on the head explaining the transition from child to adult and the pressure to grow up and face responsibility. For Your Babies sums up parenthood and the love a parent has for their child. I really appreciate the music I listened to in the 80s as a kid, which I took for granted back then.

[@tiffanytaylor1374]

Watching this is very touching as life is a struggle for everyone in various ways. We all too often take our lives for granted until we put ourselves in someone else's shoes and realize what they've gone through... what it took to get them where they are. Mick is very open and honest... a rare gift in itself. For many years i've wanted to find that level of success but after hearing him speak i realize how good life's been to me as i was adopted by two loving parents and have one sister and we both have achieved a good level of success over the years but often i've wanted more. I literally play every instrument in the book and can't even read music but listening to this interview teaches one to put aside his pride ans realize how hard some struggle for what they have. My measure of success comes from deep within by my love and caring for others along my journey. Mick deserves this far more than myself as he didn't have much growing up and one can't even imagine what it's like having only one parent and no siblings. I was blessed as a child... had far more than my fair share but never ever in the back of mind stopped thinking about others who had less. This man has more character than most and GOD has truly blessed him in many ways. Good interview and personally my thoughts are that he's a good inspiration to others who have it hard that they too can find what they seek in life and not give up! ...He's far more deserving than myself... oh and love his songs. Very touching to say the least. Good job with this interview!!!! ...Clark
