Looking Back By Moving Forwards – A Precursor To Next Week’s Book Release

Posted on January 20, 2022October 3, 2023 By Priptona 1 Comment on Looking Back By Moving Forwards – A Precursor To Next Week’s Book Release

I had a hoard of memorabilia come in this week and in amongst it was this article, written by Graeme Thomson, none other! Featuring in The Guardian on February 24th, 2012, just as the 5×5 Live tour is getting under way.

We know how I feel about that. Goddamn! I was out by just over two years. I will forever rue it!

Some of the discussion that takes place between Graeme, Jim and Charlie during the interview for this article features in the Themes For Great Cities book.

I thought I’d scan the article and post it here. Just as a little taster of what’s to come next week.

A footnote (and a chance for me to be a pedantic pr*ck); the inset photo of Jim is from 1980. October, in fact. It’s one from the Tavistock Square session. The same session the photo on the book’s cover comes from.

    One of my favourite Simple Minds’ photo sessions, albeit all the shots by Virginia Turbett are wonderful. ??
    Thank you for sharing these gems and pearls all the time! ?
