Charles Burchill (born 27 November 1959) is a Scottish musician and composer who is the guitarist for the rock band Simple Minds. He is recognized for his enduring partnership with lead singer Jim Kerr, with whom he has played since their school days. The two remain the only original members still performing with the group. Burchill is primarily known as a guitarist, but he is a multi-instrumentalist who also plays keyboards, saxophone, and violin. His musical career began at the age of seven, and by his teenage years, he had formed the punk band Johnny & The Self-Abusers with Kerr in 1977. After that group disbanded, they formed Simple Minds, achieving global success in the 1980s with hits such as "Don't You (Forget About Me)," "Alive and Kicking," and "Promised You a Miracle". Burchill's guitar style is characterized by the extensive use of effects like delay and chorus, which helped define the band's atmospheric "sonic cathedral" sound. Beyond his technical role as a guitarist, Burchill is a core songwriter for the band. While he often composes on the guitar, he has noted that for decades his primary instrument for writing has been the piano. He is known for a collaborative approach to composition, historically working closely with former keyboardist Mick MacNeil to create intricate musical arrangements where neither instrument dominates. In October 2025, Burchill and Kerr published a joint memoir titled Our Secrets Are The Same.
