Simple Minds Interview Australian TV 1982 (rare)

Rare footage of Simple Minds on Australian television program "Coundown" in October 1982. This is the "Humdrum" music interview segmant of the broadcast. The program's talent co-ordinator Ian "Molly" Meldrum began appearing on-air in 1975, presenting the Humdrum music news segment and conducting interviews. He soon became the face of Countdown. He appeared regularly on-air until 1986. Please note: Some of this footage is weak due to its age etc. I have muted or blanked the screen were necessary for uploading. No footage was removed. Most of it is ok!

It's always great to see a music presenter that is actually enthused by his subject. It's pretty rare.
