In episode #154 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets Simple Minds bass guitar legend Derek Forbes to discuss his new autobiography, A Very Simple Mind: On Tour.

Derek Forbes is known for those iconic spine-rattling bass riffs, which we recognise in most Simple Minds' songs, and he wrote and co-wrote many of the band's earliest classics. Derek is also well known internationally as a songwriter and bassist for Big Country and Propaganda.

He won an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection in 2016 for his songwriting for Simple Minds, voted best bass player in the World in 1982 and best bass player from Scotland in 2010.

In this interview, Derek Forbes talks about how he nearly joined the Navy, the early days of Simple Minds, recording with David Bowie and Iggy Pop, getting sacked by Simple Minds and lots more. Listen to episode #154 of The XS Noize Podcast with Derek Forbes – BELOW:
