0 Simply Red/Terence Trent D’Arby SECC, Finneston. 7.30pm. Simply Red (see Feature) preview their new album, which on the evidence of the first single, may be an advance on the debut, ‘Picture Book’. Terence, etc is the latest CBS mega-soul hype, the

' two being one time members ofThe
Engine Room. This is the inevitable record company showcase, and ifthe rest of the set is as good as their demo ‘Made In Heaven‘ then they could be on to something fairly big at last.
