In other news from the past 24 hours, I was stunned to wake and see this response waiting for me this morning. Like a mangey feral street dog, I’ll happily take any morsel I can get! ? (Can you tell I’ve missed him? “Noooooooo!” says everyone with faux shock. Lol) Again, thanks for the response…
The Roundhouse is probably the handiest venue for me currently. A short journey on the Thameslink rail line from Luton to Kentish Town station and then a 20 minute walk from there to the venue. Easy! I arrived early enough, around 7.20pm. Support act Matt Maltese wasn’t due on until 8pm. I found myself stood…

A nice set of black and white photos of a Simple Minds gig on April 13th, 1984 at the Volkshaus in Zurich, Switzerland. Clicking on the picture of Jim will take you to the page to view all the photos from the gig. And lovely ones they are too.
Hmmm. It would appear I overstepped the boundaries in what is deemed “off topic” or perhaps “advertising” on SMO FB. In my defence – one: it was very much ON TOPIC as far as I was concerned, for I was merely theorising what Jim may do to celebrate his 60th birthday this July. Secondly –…
There’s no escaping it. A curious thing. In an effort to tidy up the blog…not to make it TOTALLY devoid of fun, but just for it to be a bit more…tasteful, I recently deleted a post I did in the very early days of the blog titled “The Myth Of Jim Kerr’s Giant Manhood”. In…
