Citizens Theatre, Glasgow
19/10/25
Join Simple Minds' founder members and lifelong collaborators, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill for a special event to celebrate the publication of their long-awaited memoir.
A candid, moving and kinetic story of self-realisation through the power of music, Our Secrets Are The Same is the remarkable joint memoir by Simple Minds' founder members, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill. It not only reveals the inner workings of one of the most innovative and successful British bands of the past half-century, but the deeply personal tale of an extraordinary friendship which powered teenage dreams into visionary action.
Jim and Charlie will explore key songs, places, years and events in the Simple Minds story, which has encompassed stratospheric highs and humbling lows, marriages and divorces, fatherhood, fickle fame, tricky inter-band dynamics, the occasional explosive bust up, and a ruthless streak to rival the Sicilian Mafia.
Their connection is grounded in shared experiences and a set of values and codes so deeply ingrained they don't need to be spoken. Two men who have remained deeply bonded to their roots and each other, while fulfilling a teenage dream to form a world-class live band and take their music around the globe.
With a rare opportunity to put questions to 2 musical icons, the evening promises to capture a unique journey through life and music, and a friendship like no other.
