If You Don't Know Me By Now:
Live at Royal Albert Hall DVD:
Over two hundred Simply Red fans lined up at the Home department in Selfridges Trafford Centre on Wednesday.
Mick was back in his home town to sign copies of new book If You Don’t Know
Me By Now (Carlton Books - see Amazon link above), by Brian Southall with
Mick Hucknall.
Before the signings, Mick was interviewed by media, including BBC North West,
in a makeshift interview room in the anals of the store. Arriving 20 minutes
late, due to a misunderstanding, he pointed out, a lean-looking Hucknall,
dressed in grey pinstriped suit, open necked pink shirt and smart beige brogues,
he sat for approximately 20 minutes, politely responding to our questions.
He was asked how he felt about coming back to Manchester, during which he’d
been baby shopping with his partner Gabriella Wesberry for 9lb arrival Romy
True Hucknall.
"It’s been three years, it seems longer actually. I don’t really know why.
We’ve had a few days here, when I’ve seen family and friends. I’m just always
amazed at the change in the architecture and how European it’s becoming."
Of his fans in Manchester, Mick said, "I’m going to meet some of them later.
We don’t have a kind of pre-arranged meeting like this, signing books is a
one-off really. Naturally it’s good to come back, I don’t think twice about it.
I’m very relaxed here."
