S10E2: Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill talk to Gary and Guy

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we welcome a wonderful partnership of band mates and best friends. Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill join Gary and Guy to discuss their new shared memoir ‘Our Secrets are the Same’ - which is out on October 2nd. It’s a candid, moving, and funny set of stories about how they have managed to stay so close and still continue to lead the creative charge of Simple Minds, a band who have sold over 60 million records. Find out more about the book here: https://www.simpleminds.com/our-secrets-are-the-same-memoir-book-by-jim-kerr-charlie-burchill/Instagram @rockonteurs @guyprattofficial @garyjkemp @gimmesugarproductions @simplemindsmusic Listen to the podcast and watch some of our latest episodes on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rockonteursFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RockonteursTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therockonteursProduced for WMG UK by Ben Jones at Gimme Sugar Productions Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are back after the summer break and we head to the Design Museum in London. Opening in September is a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the iconic and influential Blitz - "the club that shaped the 80s". It was a hotbed of music, fashion, and culture in the late 70s and early 80s that helped influence the entire decade. We meet up with Boy George to talk about the club, the scene it shaped and its lasting impact, that is still felt today. The Design Museum exhibition on the Blitz Club opens on September 20th and runs until the spring of 2026. Find out more at: www.designmuseum.orgInstagram @rockonteurs @guyprattofficial @garyjkemp @gimmesugarproductions @boygeorgeofficial Listen to the podcast and watch some of our latest episodes on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rockonteursFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RockonteursTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therockonteursProduced for WMG UK by Ben Jones at Gimme Sugar Productions Hosted on Acast.
