It not only reveals the inner workings of one of the most innovative and successful British bands of the past half-century, but the deeply personal tale of an extraordinary friendship which powered teenage dreams into visionary action. Jim and Charlie will explore key songs, places, years and events in the Simple Minds story. Their connection is grounded in shared experiences and a set of values and codes so deeply ingrained they don’t need to be spoken.
With a rare opportunity to put questions to 2 musical icons, the evening promises to capture a unique journey through life and music, and a friendship like no other.
A hardback copy of the book will be available to purchase when booking your tickets, or on the night.
