May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
These two photos were sent to me yesterday. They’re from one of the nights in early January, 1985 in which Bono joined the Minds on stage. Ooh, and I have just taken in that it just happens to be Kerrsday so there we go! Sadly the photographer is unknown and these are photos I have…
Brought out as the B-side for Life In A Day in March 1979, I missed giving it a mention when I posted about the anniversary of the album in a previous post. In the early days in particular, I think the Minds recorded really strong B-sides to their singles. I have a real soft spot…
I’m at a crossroads right now. I feel as though I am neglecting this blog. I’m not sure what to do with it at the moment. I’m currently stuck in a rut with how to take the blog forward. It’s been a labour of love for over eight years. It has gone through several changes…

I’ll give her that) but those photos she had been sharing on her Instagram account for the SAF photoshoot will be…
There are not that many times I have had my visage captured in the front row at a Simple Minds gig, but there I am right down the end of the row at the Princes Street Gardens gig on the Friday night (Aug 12). A very happy bunny I was too – and it shows…
I can’t remember sharing this at the time, I think I was keeping it all hush hush until it appeared in the Classic Pop magazine, and by then I probably was more excited about featuring in the magazine to think of showing the collection off with more clarity. These photos were taken two years ago…
Had a lovely afternoon out in the West End yesterday, by Kelvinbridge. Looked in this posh home decor place called Galletly Tubbs. Lovely stuff, but OH MY WORD – the prices! A place for window shopping ONLY, for us riff raff! Lol Then went and had some food at Sips And Baker further along the…
