May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I had a notification on Facebook earlier about the SM page adding a photo, but I couldn’t see what had changed as it kept taking me to the most recent post on their page when I’d click the notification – but there was nothing added to the post. I thought nothing else of it until…
Currently I’m recovering from having a big old dose of lurgy. I’m not even sure it wasn’t a dose of Covid. I haven’t felt this sick since the last time (and first time) I had Covid in June 2022. That aside, but perhaps relevant as it may have caused my mind to fester on this…

Set your reminders because just a few days before the airing of Everything Is Possible, Mr Kerr will be on the radio, waxing lyrical about Mr Morrison. (Can I just say right here right now that Mr Kerr ALWAYS looked better in leather troosers than Mr Morrison.) See the details below… Jim Kerr on Jim…

As one would imagine for a gig in the Australian summer, the venue was steamin’ like a sauna. The small auditorium filled with sweaty young things. Thanks to recent photographic sharing and memories…
Seems as if the wee Icehouse SM colab cover of Get It On is getting much more promo “back home” than it is here. Anyway, good that the little clip was put up on YouTube to see. The tour will be “wilder” than 1981? Lol. I highly doubt it! Given the kind of stuff they’d…

Well well well – look what we have here! I guess that’s why Sarah went to Nice a few weeks back, to lay down her vocals for this. Gotta say, it ain’t bad! Nostalgia tripping to the max, hey boys? Even right down to that fab Roadrunner magazine photo. Click the image to take a…
These photos are AMAZING! Taken of the band during their inaugural tour of Australia in 1981. I just wanted to share these seeing as it’s Kerrsday and the colour photos feature mainly Jim on his own. The final two are my favourites. The colour one has such an atmosphere to it. They’re just stunning photos….

Well, it’s now official. ‘Simple Minds: Everything Is Possible’ (aka The Jim and Charlie Story) has just been plugged for the first time on SM social media. From what I read it’s a 75 minute documentary with interviews of various celebs sharing their love of the Minds, intermingled with the story of the Kerr/Burchill bedrock….
