Grant Stott sits in
What were the acts you were into right from the start ahead of the rest? Were you at Simple Minds' first gig, or did you maybe see a support act early doors?
Back in 1978 a Glasgow band ditched their previous names and launched themselves to a Glasgow audience as Simple Minds.
We want to hear about the bands you got into right at the start – maybe you were there for that gig, perhaps you saw a future star as a support and fell in love. Who are the bands you got into ahead of the rest.
