May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I am now quite a regular listener to Billy Sloan’s show each week on BBC Radio Scotland. This week was a fascinating show, with him asking the big names of music, sport and politics what their favourite gig of all time was. At the 1 hour, 36 minute mark, you can hear Sir’s choice…won’t spoil…
Oh…the things I want to do! A new camera…and WHAT a camera! Wow. I *may* just chance taking it with me on my first Glasgow trip…but…I will need to leave my belongings unattended for long periods, so it may not be a good idea. Will just have to get out and about snapping away in…
Roll on February 13th! 🙂
Got all three venues booked! London Roundhouse Manchester Albert Hall AND THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BARROWLAND BALLROOM!!!! Get in!!!!!!
Ooh…one that made it on the album! And a personal fave…in my Top 50 – Murder Story
This one at least made it to demo – Act Of Love (of course, it later becomes a line used in Celebrate “Act of love is a luxury” and Glittering Prize “called an act of love / can you never stop”)
Yet another unreleased track to enjoy, You Better Watch Out.
Another unreleased track that’ll only ever be heard on this recording, “Take Me To The Angels”…reKERRing themes…
Yep…because I don’t actually live and breathe Simple Minds…and Jim Kerr is just a construct in my imagination… This version of Wasteland was chosen for the original “Simple Minds” end line… (see latest Lyric Of The Day for subtle reference, and check simpleminds.org for the background to the song)
