simple minds #20



From left: Jim and Charlie.



line-up:
vocals: Jim Kerr
guitar: Charlie Burchill
bass: Derek Forbes



background:
The core of Jim and Charlie were joined by Derek and Brian to thrash out the demos for their new album. Whilst Derek and Brian's involvement was casual, Derek had rejoined Simple Minds by July 1996.

Another reunion was announced when Pete Walsh was confirmed as the new album's producer.

In March 1997, Mel met the band in London to add extra drumming to War Babies. His involvement with the forthcoming festival tour wasn't therefore totally unexpected, and warmly welcomed by fans.
