May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Deep in study as usual at the moment (more on that at University and Unicorns – I’d appreciate it if you’re that way inclined, to read my latest post there titled ‘The Creative Spark’), but taking the day off as I am seeing Hamish Hawk at St Luke’s tonight. Really excited for this gig. Cannae…
Yesterday Jim posted about it being 50 years of concert-going for him. A vast swathe of those concerts he’s experienced from the other side of the auditoria as being frontman of one of the world’s best bands (don’t tell him I said that – don’t want him getting a big head now! Lol. Too late!). …

I am 825 words into a ROUGH draft 1200 essay that’s due on Thursday morning. I’m not feeling confident about this one. I’m not sure I have actually felt confident over any of them! (I’m trying to keep my score of 80 for my eTMA – ie: end-of-module Tutor Marked Assignment – in the forefront…
I made a vlog which you can view by clicking the post. In it I discuss Mark Kerr’s new musical offering – hence the ‘old skool’ photo of a young Mark with his big bro. Photo credit: Virginia Turbett
WARNING: POTENTIAL “SPOILERS”. Where to begin with this review? It’s hard to get a handle on Brett Morgen’s objective is with this … documentary? Film? I’m not even sure how to refer to it officially. I guess it is a documentary by the definition being it is based on factual information and not a work…
