SIMPLE MINDS: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE ON BBC & DVD

Made by award winning director and producer Joss Crowley and Lonesome Pine Productions, in partnership with BMG, Everything Is Possible takes the viewer on an extraordinary journey. From the band’s isolated beginnings in late 1970s Glasgow, to their early groundbreaking and pioneering albums, through to their stratospheric ascent in the mid to late 1980s, and the subsequently challenging later years and triumphant rebirth over the past decade.

Along the way the film features candid interviews with band members including Simple Minds’ founders, singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill, as well as a cast of outstanding musicians, writers, actors and broadcasters: Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan, Texas’ Sharleen Spiteri, Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof, The Specials and 2-Tone founder Jerry Dammers, Irvine Welsh, Molly Ringwald (The Breakfast Club), broadcasters Murial Gray and Mariella Frostrup, and album producers John Leckie, Peter Walsh, Trevor Horn and Jimmy Iovine.

The overarching theme of the film is the lifelong friendship at the core of the group, that of Kerr and Burchill. Forged at the top of a sand castle on a new housing scheme in 1967, this remarkable relationship has spanned seven decades, making it an integral part of Simple Minds’ exceptional story.
