Today I have done something that I felt (at times) was never going to happen – I have finally sent off my completed manuscript for what will be titled Simple Minds: Song by Song. It has been a long, hard slog but with luck it will be published some time in 2026 and then I can actually possibly feel comfortable with the notion of calling myself a writer/author. (Shrugs.)
Below is a little sequence of the transfer of the folder on its electronic journey….
Bye bye, wee baby. It’ll be something amazing to behold to see you come back to me some time as an actual physical book!




I’m so happy for you!
Congratulations!!
Thank you

Great stuff. Looking forward to this Larelle!


Will there be any pictures of Jim by any chance in the book? Ha-ha
Lol. Cheeky! I’ve tried as much as possible not to make it look as if it is a glorified Jim Kerr book visually. There are some full band photos, as well as photos of Charlie and other past members, as well as some images that don’t feature the band (gig posters, ticket stubs and the like) – so I hope it looks balanced! *praying hands*
Bloody well done pal. Always had great faith you’d get this over the line.
Thanks Scobes
