Today, cinch presents Edinburgh Summer Sessions announce the addition of Simply Red to the incredible festival line-up that takes place between 7th and 14th August 2022 within the beautiful setting of Princes Street Gardens.

With over 50 million albums sold worldwide, 4 of which were no.1 in the UK and not to mention conquering the US charts…twice, Simply Red are the true champions of blue-eyed soul.

Singer and songwriter Mick Hucknall was described by Q magazine as having “the most prodigious voice this side of Motown” and there is no denying the emotion he conveys in his captivating performances.

Next summer, the band bring their amazing live show and incredible catalogue of hits to the capital, where Edinburgh Castle will provide a stunning backdrop to an unforgettable night under the ‘Stars’.

cinch presents Edinburgh Summer Session continues to provide the soundtrack to the Edinburgh Festivals right in the heart of the City. This year sees the festival grow from strength to strength both in terms of line-up and with the addition of cinch, the easy way to buy and sell used cars on-line, as headline sponsor.

Also announced today is Megan McKenna as support for Lionel Richie on the 7th of August.
