Who’s G.P.?
Have asked Sir about this…why not try the source? Worth a shot. And Stuart, if you are reading this, please don’t spoil the illusion of the aftershave by telling me it’s yours. Lol

The Brussels Photoset – March, 1983
This beautiful set of photos came my way very recently, from the collection of fellow mega Minds fan, Stuart Holland. I am absolutely bowled over by them! They are an absolute new treasure. Quite possibly the most prized thing in my ever expanding Simple Minds memorabilia collection. Anyone enjoying these pictures – I do ask…
Photoset – Belgium, March, 1983
This man is…absolutely the most beautiful man…just, ever! Sorry. I’m just too far gone…and far beyond help. I really SHOULD just call this a Jim Kerr blog and have done with it.

Taking The Mick

Why I Love…Someone Somewhere In Summertime
I haven’t written one of these in SUCH a long time, but here goes… I have probably been aware of this track since at least 1984, if not since its release in 1982. It has been a long favourite. That unmistakable guitar riff of Charlie’s, and those amazingly picturesque and romantic lyrics of Jim’s, combined…
