Peter Gabriel
Musician
associated with band: 1980-

The first lead singer of Genesis was a role-model for Jim when he saw the band during the 1970s in Glasgow. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway would become one of Jim's favourite albums.

In a role-reversal, Simple Minds came to Peter Gabriel's attention after he heard Real To Real Cacophony. Finding the band in severe financial hardship after the release of Empires And Dance, he invited them to join him as support band for his European Tour - all expenses paid. (For that reason, he received a credit on the sleeve of Sons And Fascination.
