Ged Grimes (Simple Minds, Meet Danny Wilson)

Though he plies an upright in the video clip, his sleek electric bass harmonics and groove passage on the massive 1987 “sophisti-pop” hit “Mary’s Prayer” https://bit.ly/1wuI4KX with Meet Danny Wilson underpinned a timeless tune of its era – dare I say “standard.”

A busy session player who currently anchors Simple Minds, Gerard “Ged” Grimes is also a producer – composer for television , film, and video games (Earthworm Jim 3D, Enter the Matrix, Shrek 3, Amplitude and Quarrel); a sideman for noted Gaelic artists Kathleen MacInnes, Mackenzie, and Ellidh Cormack, and music business entrepreneur.

 

Ged is an endorser of Sandberg guitars and Mark Bass amplification.
