Derek’s a clown! Still, he made Jim laugh and allowed us all to see that beautiful smile 🙂

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 🙂
Colour photo of Sparkle promo shots out on the ferry. From left to right: Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Jim Kerr, Mel Gaynor, Derek Forbes.
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!
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)
Montage of Simple Minds photos, circa 1981. From the book “Simple Minds: A Visual Documentary” by Mike Wrenn, published in 1990.
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!
It’s those naughty, cheeky, bare-chested posers again! Lol. Simple Minds – from left to right: Jim Kerr, Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Derek Forbes.
