May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s now 4 years since this happened and I know Jim will be utterly bloody bored with it, so I’ll just keep the memory here on the blog. This anniversary I find myself back in Oz, so this year feels just a little more special, yet painfully sad. Kyoto might well still be in snow,…
Okay. I know it’s Christmas and Sir has got to have his family time. And I know the tour needs to be pushed. But!! FUCKING HELL – I MISS HIM! I miss how Simple Minds Official was. What’s happened? Why has he stepped away from it so much? I thought it was because of his…

After the radio show, Jamie East informed us of a full, unedited version of the interview would be available to watch online. Here we are… Enjoy!
Jim and Charlie will be on Virgin Radio UK at 9pm GMT tonight (Sunday, Nov. 17). Tune in for the patter. Jim and his bloody “la la las” – and there I am extolling the virtues of his amazing songwriting. Lol
