Interviews Abound – Bruce, Billy and Graeme with Grant Stott – Jim with Chris Hawkins (sitting in for Craig Charles)

Posted on January 28, 2022October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Interviews Abound – Bruce, Billy and Graeme with Grant Stott – Jim with Chris Hawkins (sitting in for Craig Charles)

Two interviews took place almost simultaneously yesterday. One pre-recorded, the other live.

The live chat happened on BBC Radio Scotland. Grant Stott was hosting The Afternoon show and during the middle of the program, he spoke to Bruce Findlay, Billy Sloan and Graeme Thomson about the book and Simple Minds. You can listen to that interview and chat directly below.

The second interview was on BBC Radio 6 Music. Chris Hawkins was sitting in for Craig Charles and he spoke to Jim about the release of Act Of Love and the anniversary of the Simple Minds debut gig at Satellite City in 1978. Jim was at his loquacious best – although the interview was brief, it was highly entertaining. You can listen to that interview below.

I hope you enjoy them both. I know I did.
