His trademarks are red hair and peculiarly soothing voice that had sent him into a starry orbit back in 1985, when he became the front man of Simply Red.

Mick Hucknall hasn’t given up music, just in case you’ve been wondering about him during the past decade.

Mid-December 2011 Mick has commenced promoting his new song: “Happy This Christmas”

The joyful thing in particular for Croatians is that Mick’s personal producer Andy Wright recommended and chose to produce this song in collaboration with the production team “Playone”. Playone is made up of Croatia’s own music team producers Darko Juranovic D’Knock and DJ Fresh Jay. They were also joined by the producer Zvonimir Dusper.

Mick Hucknall spoke exclusively to Vecernji List newspaper in Zagreb.

“The boys made an excellent remix and an admirable production. I personally don’t potter around with that part of production, I believe in my team and listen when all is done,” Mick said.

“…I want to introduce a new music to people, I’m tired of singing ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’, he added. http://www.vecernji.hr/scena/pjevac-simply-reda-snimio-pjesmu-hrvatskim-producentima-clanak-359284/article in Croatian.

Everyone – Be Happy This Christmas Day!

I’m Ina

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
