Earlier this afternoon, Sir Kerr spoke on the phone (recorded a few days ago, I’m guessing) to Matt Everitt about the new release, Live In The City Of Angels. Click on the play button below to listen to the interview.

Live In The City Of…Angels – Out October 4th
Well, here is the news! And here also, from the album, is Love Song – sounding overdubbed (Jim’s voice, at least) to buggery. Look…I hate to criticise, I really do. BUT…if you are going to release a live album…have the bloody courage of your convictions! If you want to keep that reputation of being one…

Sir Has Resurfaced
For fear of looking like the most pathetic, sycophantic fangirl this side of the Clyde, I am going to express here just how happy I am to see this evening’s looooooooong overdue post…because HERE I *am* a sycophantic fangirl. My blog, my rules! If people roll theirs eyes reading this here, they can frankly keep…
Tao Be Or Not Tao Be…
That is the question. It is many a SM fan’s holy grail, to go to Taormina for a stay at Villa Angela. I was mulling over the idea again tonight. Looking at what’s available at the hotel and checking plane fares from Luton to Catania around my birthday. The idea of spending my 49th birthday…
Tom Sheehan – How The Hunter Was Unexpectedly Hunted
So, here’s the thing. I was working on social media and my work took me to Instagram. The name Tom Sheehan pops up. A photographer. I thought “His name seems familiar to me in terms of having worked with Simple Minds. I’ll go to the blog and search for him and see what crops up.”…

What’s On The Ryder?
The Sue Ryder, that is! There has been an announcement today from the Sue Ryder charity (who also provide palliative and neurological care for the terminally ill) about an auction with donations of items from various celebrities and musicians. And they say that, on behalf of Simple Minds, Jim has donated tickets to a Simple…
Simple Minds Reveal New Lead Singer!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage… Jim Cur! Lol (only meant in jest and for some fun, obviously. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play with the “Kerr/Cur” homophone). ???? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jackson (@actionjackson1213)
It’s Oh So Quiet
I have to say…things is quiet on the SM front, and I do miss Mr Kerr. I hope things are okay. One can’t help but worry. I guess it isn’t our place to be concerned. It’s one year to the day since the opening Grandslam gig at Maidstone in Kent. Mixed feelings still of the…
Mr Before And After
In January last year I went and visited Virginia Turbett so I could take a proper and extensive view of her archive of Simple Minds images. She has something like 1000 images or more of the band so you can imagine what total fangirl heaven I was in just even TRYING to view over 1000…
Mangled Magazine Interview With Jim
A quick interview with Jim from 1979. I feel vindicated about my thoughts on cassettes. Lol See…I don’t get the comparisons to Magazine, either. But I’d have died to have seen one of those gigs now! As for the “Secondhand Simplicity” review title? A lazy alliteration…that’s all it was. I seem to remember it was…
