What's in Vernon's Vault today?

Simple Minds' Jim Kerr chooses his Tracks of My Years all this week with Vernon. Plus, there's the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and two more dives in to Vernon's Vault.

Glasgow鈥檚 own Jim Kerr shares his musical journey with Vernon all this week on Tracks of My Years.

Forming in 1977, Simple Minds and Jim Kerr have been a constant part of the musical landscape achieving five number one albums on the UK Album Chart and selling more than 60 million albums, their most recent being Direction of the Heart, which came out last October.

The iconic single Don鈥檛 You Forget About Me featured on the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club, and their other big hits include Alive and Kicking, Waterfront, Sanctify Yourself and Glittering Prize.

Following the huge success of 2022鈥檚 rapturously received 40 Years Of Hits Tour, Simple Minds are back out on tour next year, starting at Leeds Arena on 15 March, and the live album - New Gold Dream: Live from Paisley Abbey - comes out in mid-October.

There'll also be more audio nuggets as we dive in to the 91热爆 Archive in Vernon's Vault, plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and a brand new Record and Album of the Week.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
