The Baby Bhoys of ’79

The Baby Bhoys of ’79

The baby bhoys! From left to right: Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil, Jim Kerr, Brian McGee, Charlie Burchill. OMG! Charlie is HILARIOUS in this photo! Trying to look ssooo hard and angry – with his hands stuffed down his jeans! Lol. We’re not fooled, Charlie! You’re too lovely and upbeat 🙂

Sparkle In The Rain/Waterfront Promo Photos 1983

Sequence of photos of Simple Minds during Sparkle In The Rain promotional touring, late ‘83/early ’84. It was a cold old day! They’re all pretty rugged up – except for Mick, he’s used to those Barra gales :-)) The first photo is another of my faves of Jim. That tousled hair is gorgeous!

Hawt Bhoys In Black And White

Hawt Bhoys In Black And White

Shared a very similar photo in colour recently. Love it in black and white too. They’re such lovely looking boys! Even Derek 😉 (I’m joking! – and I mean I’m joking about the “even Derek” bit. Big Dan has his own “hawt” thing going on – he’s just not MY particular cup of chai)

The young bhoys. At top from left to right: Brian McGee, Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil. Bottom, left to right: Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill. Ooh, they are so serious! Jim is brooding and smouldering!! Charlie looks a bit pissed off and sad – which is ssooo odd for Charlie!
