Mick And Charlie On Kiwi TV, 1986
Rare to see an interview conducted without Jim. I’d never seen this footage before. Enjoy!
Why I Love…Lightning
That start. The bass and clang…something gritty and industrial about it. Almost like it’s going to turn into a Einstürzende Neubauten track! Then a wonderfully buzzing style of synth that comes in. The pace of it is awesome. I absolutely adore these lyrics! On the Dream Giver web site (simpleminds.org), Jim talks about the song…
Cherisse Osei – Nominated For Best Live Session Drums
musicradar in association with Rhythm magazine have put out their nominations for the Drum awards 2017, and Cherisse is up for the nod for best live session drummer.

Minds Music Monday – King Is White – Get Set For Summer, 1982

But onto last night’s show of Mr Flür and his supports. First up was Nik Dagger and The Grip. Nik says he’s from Europa, one of the…

Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – The Lyceum, London, Oct 26th, 1980
A Sunday evening gig. OH MY FLIPPING GOD – THEY WALK ON TO KANT KINO!!! Could have better sound quality…a better quality recording exists, by all accounts. This version is obviously a tape of a tape of a tape and running a little fast…Jim’s voice is almost chipmunk-esque at times, though he usually has a…
