'Travel round, travel round...' Simple Minds are going on a huge world tour in '24. They've come a long way from the Mars Bar. For anyone keen to relive the thrill of their earliest days, or learn more about the band's journey, I wrote Themes For Great Cities. Out now in p/back

The things you find! My wife & two daughters tickets to attend my The Open University graduation ceremony 2015. Believe it was one of martha lane fox first ceremonies too. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Themes For Great Cities was published in paperback this summer. Lots of people have said nice things about it. The Guardian ran an extract, about Simple Minds’ 💥 3rd album Empires & Dance. If you like that, you’ll like the book. It would make a nice gift. theguardian.com/music/2023/jun…

Hi folks, I hope you don't mind me pushing my book about my 2015 solo kayak journey around Scotland. It's self-published & received lots of lovely reviews. It gives a flavour of what I experienced on my last journey. I appreciate you sharing this. Thanks amzn.eu/d/4GkyjHk

Simple Minds have been getting rave reviews on the first week of their UK/Irish tour; shows at the O2 & Hydro are coming up. They're playing lots of material from the first 5 albums. Find out more about that era, & the early days of the band, in my book, Themes For Great Cities.
