Über diesen Titel

Creative Accounting is an original podcast where David Simmons recollects, recounts and shares his remarkable encounters with a legendary who's who of rock 'n' roll icons - including Lemmy, Danny Sims, Bob Marley, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Peter Green and Culture Club. It's also an intimate first hand account and conversation between father and son. As fragments of music industry fables that have been passed round family tables like Chinese whispers throughout the years, are finally captured on the record and laid down naked and in the open for all to hear and enjoy.


Creative Accounting or lost entries of iconic legendary moments...you listen and decide?!

  • Entry 7: Closing Account - The Dividends of Culture Club
    Oct 17 2023

    In this final Entry, David Simmons reflects on his career and journey through Creative Accounting. Including the recurring value of his innate ability to act and capitalise on his proximity to the currency of chaos, chance and opportunity. How once let into this artistic and financial conversation, he may have also pioneered certain templates and instruments that helped better merge and blend the creative alchemy between music + business. Finally, he recounts how when he became the accountant for Culture Club as they went on to become the biggest band in the world, his daughter’s childhood drawing of Boy George ended up on their album cover. Additionally, how their global success and the doors it opened up everywhere, led him to blur the line that he had consistently managed to maintain between the chaos of work and the stability of home, by finally bringing his wife on the road with him for the first time!

  • Entry 5: - Assets and Liabilities - The Subledger Of Creative Chaos
    Oct 16 2023

    In this Entry of Creative Accounting, David Simmons describes how on several occasions in his career he was repeatedly asked to improvise in the role as the money man. Frequently brought in to tap dance a way out of a potentially tricky creative situation and navigate a path through a financial tight spot. This leads him into a series of bizarre cameos featuring Lee "Scratch" Perry, Marcus Garvey Jr., Motown and The Spirit of Africa and Ike Turner where he was frequently the only white man in the room.

But why record it while eating? Listening to mastication and slurping noises spoilt the anecdotes.
