Empires And Dance Review – Roadrunner Magazine – Feb 1981
F*** you, Tyrone Flex (and the horse you rode in on)! Empires And Dance is a f***ing MASTERPIECE! You know jack shit. Don’t you be f***ing dissing Constantinople Line and Thirty Frames, you asshat! “Lack of anything else to say”? He was being deliberately sparing and atmospheric, you F**K! Actually faaaaaar too intellectual for the…

Sparkle In The Rain Review – No 1 Magazine, February 11th, 1984
I have never seen this picture (used for the article) before. What the hell is the boy doing? Lol. And…erm New Gold Dream was UNDERproduced?! Was it?!
Phoenix Park Dublin Gig Review – No 1 Magazine – August, 1983
Review of the U2/SimpleMinds/Big Country/Eurythmics mega gig at Phoenix Park, Dublin on August 14th, 1983. A shame the second page (and pic of Jim) is black and white. Never mind. Again, many thanks to shanemarais.net for the magazine scans.
Gig Review – Warm Digits + Comfort – The Lexington, Islington, August 25th, 2017
As usual, no matter how late I leave it to go to a gig, I always go far too early. Lol. I didn’t have TOO much time to kill last night, and the pub area of The Lexington is quite nice (complete with chandelier! A pub with a chandelier? That’s a bit posh!), so no…

History Of Rock, 1980 – Empires And Dance Article – Simple Minds Interview
I didn’t even realise Simple Minds ended,up featuring in it. I assumed their presence in the “History of Rock” realm would be given to New Gold Dream, so when I looked at the 1982 edition of the magazine and saw hardly ANY talk of NGD, I just assumed SM were overlooked entirely. To my surprise…

A Small World & Say My Name! Gigs Four and Five – London Palladium and Bristol
Palladium: I thought I was going to be late into London. Was panicking about missing the coach to London and then traffic being chaotic and getting there with very little time to spare. As it was, I got there in plenty of time – with two hours before doors opened. I was totally dolled up….

I’m “Scousing” Memories – Gig Two, Liverpool
I arrived in Liverpool at 3.20pm. I felt I didn’t have too much time on my hands to explore, so took a slow meander to reccie the venue. I did it at Glasgow too. I just like to walk around the whole outer of a venue and…well, find where the stage door is. I did…

Gig One – Glasgow
WOW! What a gig to start on! Where to begin?! The Anchoress! A short set, but beautiful! I made a very loud, audible whoop when she introduced her song, Bury Me. It’s my favourite on the album and I was so hoping she’d do it. I was just happy :-)) Doesn’t Kill You and PS:…
