Belfast Child - Simple Minds cover by 'Empires & Dance'

Live @ Esoteric Theater Verona 21/02/2026 Released by Simple Minds in 1989, Belfast Child was based on the Irish folk song She Moved Through The Fair. Kerr heard the melody of this song a few days after the horrific Enniskillen bombing, and wrote a song trying to relate to the people of Northern Ireland and those who had lost loved ones. This is a song about people, hope, and the dream of a new tomorrow. Some songs never stop speaking ❤️ For us, performing “Belfast Child” means trying to preserve that emotion: the sadness, the tension, but also the sense of hope that runs through the music. This is our live interpretation, performed with passion and respect for one of the most powerful songs in the Simple Minds catalogue.
