"Mark Taylor. Keyboards and guitar. Born 3 January 1956 in Newcastle. The latest recruit has always played
music for the excitement and creativity, and enjoys playing live the best. To Mark Simple Minds
stands for a true spirit and passionate honesty in music. His first band was Oasis and he
has played since for Lords Of The New Church, The Alarm,
Sinead O'Conner, Lomax. He listens to and is influenced by Art Tatum,
Thelonious Monk, Bill Payne, Dr. John."
"His ambition is to stay happy. A keen sport fan he likes to keep fit. Judging from his list of favourite
films, his idea of heaven would be seeing Robert De Niro in a film by
Martin Scorsese with George C. Scott and
Jack Nicholson as support. Failing that, a copy of "The Lace Maker", "Fitzcarraldo",
"Goodfellas", "Harvey" or "The Big Chill" would make a welcome gift."
Real Life Tour Programme
Mark was Simple Minds' live keyboard player for the 1990s. He was asked back into the band
