Mahalo i nā hana ma nā hui a me nā hale pāʻani Manchester, ua kaulana ka hui ma waena o nā poʻe hanohano Pelekane. Uaʻikeʻia nā hōkū e hiki mai ana o ka'ōlelo Pelekānia e ka mea hana kaulanaʻo Stuart Levin.

Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa nā ʻōpio i kā lākou ʻaelike ʻoihana piha piha i ka makahiki 1985 me ka lepili Elektra Records. A laila ua hoʻokuʻu nā kāne i kā lākou puke kiʻi kiʻi mua.

I ka makahiki 1987, ua hoʻoholo ka mea mua o ka hui e hui pū me ka haku mele ʻuhane ʻo L. Dozier. Aia i ka pūnāwai, ua alakaʻi ʻia ka hana hui i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka disc lua o nā kāne a me nā wahine. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia i kaulana e like me ka album mua.

I ka makahiki 2010, ua hāʻawi ka "gang" i kahi ʻaha mele ola aloha ma Lākana. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka hana ma nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni UK. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hāmau ka hui pōhaku ʻo Simply Red no kekahi mau makahiki. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Mick i kahi ʻoihana solo.
Ma 2014, ʻike ʻia ka ʻike ua mākaukau ka hui e hui hou a hele i ka Big Love Tour ma ʻEulopa. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki 25 o ka hui pōhaku.
Ua koho ʻia ke kūlanakauhale Denemaka o Odense e hoʻonohonoho i ka ʻaha mele mua o ka huakaʻi. Ua mālama ʻia ka hōʻike i ka waena waena o ka makahiki 2015. ʻO ka hopena hope loa o ka huakaʻi ʻo ka Swiss festival SummerDays, kahi i hana ai nā kāne i ke kauwela o 2016.
A laila hele nā kāne i Munich no ka BMW Festival Night. ʻO ka haku mele a lākou i hoʻokani ai, ua ʻaneʻane like me ka mea a lākou i hana ai i ke kenekulia i hala.
