The Battersea Poltergeist – And Other Podcasts
Want something SPOOKY to get your teeth into for Halloween? Then may I suggest the Battersea Poltergeist? I have spent the past week freaking myself out listening to this podcast at night…in bed…in the dark. Literally shitting myself! Lol. It is really creepy – well I found it creepy. The story centres around a house…

The Quiet Side Of Midnight – Priptona Art
The “art” very much comes and goes in waves these days. I must be needing some visual therapy as I have found myself working on the visual side of things again these past few days. I don’t feel anywhere near as depressed and “affected” as I did this time last year leading up to my…

Minds Music Monday – Ritchie’s Club – New Orleans – 27/04/1983
Ghost Dancer (aka Stuart Greaves) has shared another gem of a bootleg, this time of SM some seven months into the New Gold Dream tour of ‘82/‘83 – midway through the North American leg of the tour in April/May of 1983. Playing the Ritchie’s Club in New Orleans, Louisiana. Recorded by a member of the…

Art Sunday
Been whiling away my Sunday being arty farty… 3 x nine of beauty. I love you, Mr Kerr.
Looking Forward To Gay Paris!
There’s a break for me now in the gigs I have coming up. I’ll be in Edinburgh at the end of the month for my birthday treat of seeing a touring production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast – making it my sixth time seeing the show and the first time seeing it since the…
Virgins Boys – Virgin Photos – Part Two
After the post about Virginia’s photos of the day Simple Minds signed to Virgin Records in March, 1981…today THESE babies arrived! Obviously my favourites are going to be the ones of Jim. In one he is poised to sign (or has just signed) the contract. He has those pursed lips there – the excited sign…
Review: Field Music – St Luke’s – Glasgow – 8/10/2021
Last night’s gig for me was as highly anticipated as the Scritti Politti gig was just a couple of weeks back. It has been somewhat of a slow burn in relative terms, my love for Field Music. Meandering through other channels. Initially coming via getting into Warm Digits – whom I first got to be…

Jim Kerr: The Laird – Magazine Interview – 1987 (Publication and exact date unknown)
I’m guessing by the description Adam Sweeting gives of the weather “a summery day” and the talk of Live In The City Of Light having just been released (LitCoL released in May), it must be around June of 1987. I thought seeing as I’ve been to South Queensferry a few times over the past 12…
Jim Kerr Interview – Q Magazine – March 1998
The caption on the first photo – There was so much talk about Jim’s “penny whistle” at the time. Bloody hell! Also…the end of the article…him going on about Mariella Frostrup. Tie a knot in it, Kerr! Surely you were already with somebody else by this point? You’re never alone for long, it seems. I…
