Steve Mackie
manager (housewives choice)
associated with band: 1977-78

Steve Mackie started his career in Bruce's in Sterling where he worked with Scott McArthur. He later worked in Grafitti in Glasgow where many of Johnny And The Self Abusers used to hang out.

After moving to Edinburgh, he booked the fledgling Simple Minds for as many gigs as possible in the eastern parts of Scotland, and set up his own label, Housewives Choice. He was an early choice of manager for the band, but reluctantly declined.

As his work booking bands took him to London based record companies, he hawked the band's demo tape from office to office, but had little luck.
