Derek Forbes talks about The Modests on Grass Roots Music

"I saw this young band The Modests...to me it was like watching the birth of The Beatles...My old manager Bruce Findlay (Simple Minds Manager) was in the audience, actually crying watching them...I was a real moment... it was the look, the power, the soul the passion... so cool you could bottle it, it's unbelievable" - Derek Forbes, Simple Minds/Big Country Bassist.
