The Tavistock Terrors
Fun in the park with the autumn leaves. Photos taken at Tavistock Square in London by the Gandhi statue. Think they date from 1980. That last photo of Jim is absolutely beautiful! Well, Jim is beautiful. Any photos of him with tousled hair just makes me melt! *sigh*

Daft Derek (Gif)
Derek’s a clown! Still, he made Jim laugh and allowed us all to see that beautiful smile 🙂
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 🙂
Renfrew Ferry Rebels Sparkle
Colour photo of Sparkle promo shots out on the ferry. From left to right: Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Jim Kerr, Mel Gaynor, Derek Forbes.
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
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)

Brooding Bunch
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!
