50 something, living with partner, expressing every day ramblings.
Jim Kerr and Midge Ure
This photo was taken a few years back when Simple Minds and Ultravox toured together. I had always seen the top half of the picture, but on a recent photo search, I notice a separate section of the bottom half. I had forgotten about grabbing that part of it with a view to merging them…
Why I Love…Ghostdancing
The first Simple Minds song I remember hearing was Promised You A Miracle. I clearly remember seeing the video on this Saturday morning music video program we had on in Oz called Sounds.

As Box Sets Go – It’s Epic!
