Reno Review And Pics By Nick McCabe
A great review – even if there is a little bit of misinformation (yes, I’m being pernickety AGAIN, Jim – but if a job’s worth doing…). I did love the bit about Jim’s splits and lunges and if reviewer Nick was to try it himself, he’d have to call 911 in the end! Lol Also…can’t…
Love Is Magic – John Grant (Review-ish)
I’ve not bought the album yet and had my first listen to it proper on Spotify last night. This won’t be a strict review, just a general mulling over of my first impressions. I was already familiar with three tracks, the title track, He’s Got His Mother’s Hips and Is He Strange. At last week’s…
Cleveland Review And Photos
Echo And The Funnymen?! Lol – brilliant typo. A great set of photos with the review. All credit to Scott Sandberg. Click on the wonderful image of Jim to see the rest and read the short review. This man… *sigh*
Grandslam Coventry Gets Classic Pop Best Live Show
The latest edition of Classic Pop magazine (October 2018) saw Simple Minds score yet ANOTHER “Best Live Show” glowing review from the wonderfully named Dave Freak (I hope that’s his real name?)

Review: Grandslam – KT Tunstall, Pretenders, Simple Minds – Kent Event Centre, Maidstone – August 4th, 2018
I could start with the whole personal account with the logistics of getting to the gig, etc…but it is actually too horrendous to go over it all. Put it this way…all the trepidation I was feeling about going was being made manifest. So…let’s skip all that. I met up with Ally Scott and her husband…
Caezar – Oran Mor, Glasgow – July 27th, 2018
From the personal front…I endured the hell on earth that is the red-eye overnight coach from London to Glasgow. It had been a VERY warm day in London, and I was dreading boarding a coach with no working air con. Thankfully, THERE WAS WORKING AIR CON! Praise be! At least that aspect of the journey…
