Jim Talks With Kyle Meredith
Great little interview here…
Classic Pop Magazine – February, 2018 – Simple Minds Main Feature!
A big old eight-page spread inside the new edition of Classic Pop magazine – as well as a full page…if somewhat disappointingly back-handed…review of Walk Between Worlds. Classic Pop hits some stores today…particularly Tesco supermarkets are meant to have stock. It is already available as a digital edition for £3.99 as opposed to the £6.99…

G-Day!
Not as in the Aussie greeting, but as in “Gee Day”…the day for me to travel up to Glasgow once again. I set out in a few hours and arrive at Glasgow Central station at 5.01pm. First port of call will be the Jury’s Inn on Jamaica Street…then a quick call to the HMV in…
Speedy Read – Interview With Jim At CrypticRock
I don’t normally do speed reading…but for the next 24 hours or so…time feels of the essence! Glasgow looms large and the amount of travel I’ll be doing tomorrow will give me small pockets of time for prep (can’t say no more…those who know will know what I’m on about…all will be revealed in due…

The Big Four O!
And as I was retiring for bed last night (well, technically early this morning – as it was posted at midnight on the dot!) a post landed on the Simple Minds FB page… Of course there is no recording that exists of that first gig, that I am aware of anyway, but here’s a version…

Screengrabs For Tinkering…
Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? (Or wasted…) Is this what Hutch meant by “elegantly wasted”? And, yes, I only managed 120 screengrabs…NOT ALL OF THEM ARE JIM! (Okay…maybe 100 of them are) ???? *cradles self in ‘too much beauty’ painful foetal position ball* (it’s been a while…well…since the Turbett pictures landed anyway)
Memorabilia? Let’s See What I Have In My Box…Goldmine Podcast – Jim Kerr Interview
Nothing THAT rare, that’s for sure! And those acetates are FARKING expensive when they pop up on eBay. Yes! I have looked…but waaay out of my price range for ANY serious contention. Not sure I would ever have anything he’d want…but if I do…well…perhaps I’d part with it for…certain…”favours”….????? Dang! I don’t have anything THAT…
