Minds Music Monday – The Tube, December, 1983
Just over 12 months from their previous appearance on The Tube, Simple Minds return. It’s not the best quality footage…but it expresses the dynamism of the band.

The Grandslam – Just Shoot Me Now!
Might as well get it over with. It really *is* “rob a bank” time. Or…time to sit some gigs out ???? Not sure my heart will be able to take it either way… Swindon – close to a friend. Taunton – also possible…near-ish same said friend. Leeds, twice! Close to a friend – and what…
Alexis Taylor and Green Gartside – Esquires, Bedford – Dec 10th, 2017

Love Song Longing…
I have always loved the final few seconds of the Love Song video. As all the other patrons are trapped in the nightclub by an invisible barrier…Jim and the boys just walk on through without a “Kerr in the world”. Lol. Jim even gives the patrons around him a cursory (or should that be KERRsory?…
Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – Danube Island Festival, Vienna, 2012
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012…not quite a 5×5 tour set, but near enough minus them performing Moscow Underground, Waterfront, See The Lights and Don’t You. This festival is a FREE ADMISSION festival! OMG…I’d have DIED to see them for nowt! At the 18 minute 55 second mark, there is a rather sexy AF version of Celebrate…

Norderney Summertime Festival Promo Clip From His Royal Kerrness
Was looking around for ideas for this week’s “weekend whirligig”, when I spies this! (No Hokusai scarf! Come on, Sir! Give it an outing…please? 🙁 )

The man who received my Turbett Kerr painting is indeed quite a dab hand himself. Here are a couple of pieces he has shared with me, posted by kind permission. Thanks, Stuart!
