May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I went looking through some of the local papers I have access to online and this one for Tuesday’s gig at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena inside the Nottingham Post was succinctly full of praise. The UK leg of the arena tour comes to an end tonight in Liverpool – followed then by just a single Dublin…

It all started very early. About two and a half years ago, in fact. These two gigs, Aberdeen and Glasgow, were originally scheduled to happen a few months apart. I can’t even remember the original dates now – but I think Glasgow was in April and Aberdeen was for August. Then the shit hit the…

That’s what I’d say if I left a comment. I was crying too, but for different reasons. It’s beautiful when it’s like that. A shame it can’t always be that way… I have to say that the Q and A was odd. We’ve been asked to submit questions via email before the shows and yet…

Yesterday was a day I had been anticipating for the past two and a half years. No rush! Lol. But yesterday it finally happened. A trip – on the 90 bus – to Toryglen. Not just to zoom on by on the way to Braehead. No, no! But to get off the bus and take…
Words to come soon. Enjoy the photos for now…
I didn’t bother to mention this on the blog earlier in the week. I don’t know why? A general air of disappointment, I guess. Kismet. It can be great, but it can suck too. A absolutely love this city and I am sssooo, so happy to be living here, but….hand on heart, I guess I…
