01 Nov 2005 - Geldof wins Nobel Prize

????Bob Geldof has been named the 2005 Nobel Man Of Peace, after years of pioneering work for the world's underprivileged.

The announcement of the honour was made at last night's DVD launch party for Live 8, which was organised by Geldof this summer, 25 years after he instigated Live Aid.

Geldof saus he is "overwhelmed" by the prize, which will be presented by the former leader of the Soviet Union, Mikael Gorbachev in Rome next month.
A statement said Geldof had been chosen "for his unflagging work and powerful voice on behalf of the poor of Africa over the last 20 years and in particular the last 12 months. He has harnessed world opinion to make political leaders act immediately, improving the lives of millions."

Geldof himself commented: "I am overwhelmed and deeply proud to receive this award from such an esteemed and exceptional collection of individuals. It reaffirms the progress made by Live 8 and the Make Poverty History campaign and underlines the unwavering support for its aims internationally."

The Live 8 DVD, featuring performances from the likes of U2, Robbie Williams, Sir Paul McCartney and Coldplay, is released on November 7.

The second single taken from the 'Black & White 050505' album is a new mix of Stranger entitled 'Stranger (London Mix)'. An iTunes (UK) exclusive, the new mix will be available for download from Tuesday November 1, 2005.

Best known for their US No.1 hit single ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ and anthemic rock songs ‘Alive and Kicking’ and ‘Waterfront’, Simple Minds have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. There influence is far and wide and name-checks everyone from Bloc Party, The Bravery to The Killers.

'Stranger (London Mix)' was remixed in London by Jez Coad, and includes a different opening introduction, added keyboards and percussion, extra sequencing and backing vocals.

The song, along with the critically acclaimed "Black & White 050505" album, is being hailed as the most accomplished Simple Minds album in years. 'Stranger', along with other songs from the current album, will be performed on Simple Minds' 2006 European Tour which kicks off on January 31, 2006 at the Belfast Waterfront Hall Auditorium.

Jim Kerr's spectacular, if not, seductive, vocal reigns triumphant over this epic and emotionally charged rock song. Together with co-founder and lead guitarist Charlie Burchill, they have crafted a pop that propels Simple Minds into a new sonic dimension.

'Stranger' radiates vintage Simple Minds with Mel Gaynor's pulsating drums, Andy Gillespie's haunting keyboards, Eddie Duffy's thumping bass lines and Charlie Burchill's distinctive guitar playing.

'Stranger' delivers everything Simple Minds is known for - passion, uplifting musical spirit, emotional dynamics, and joyous melodies set against a blistering rhythm track, all of which are polished off with state-of-the-art production values.

Says vocalist Jim Kerr, "Of all these new songs I feel that 'Stranger' captures most the 'the spirit of the big pop songs' that are second nature to Simple Minds."

If any of the recent reviews of the current album are to go by, it looks like Simple Minds are on their way to another exciting new chapter in their 30 year plus career.
