May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I really hope I can get this to work, because it is one of the most wonderful things you will ever see. The newspapers…the local Dundee ones…there is a young man pictured in the Evening Telegraph, dancing. His name is Paul and he was dancing his heart out at the gig last night. His mum…
Local Dundee newspaper The Courier and Advertiser showcased the gig finale in their opening pages with a glowing review. As if it would be any other way?! Oh, I wish I could have been there! I pray it is not too long a wait until my next lot of gigs! “Normality” beckons for the next…

Local newspaper the Somerset County Gazette have posted a fabulous slideshow of photos from Sunday night’s Grandslam at Taunton Race Course. Not just of the music acts either, but of the punters in the crowd. I know several fans who went on Sunday, and it’s great seeing them all having such a fab time. Just…

Now the summer is all but gone (officially ended as of Saturday…but seasonally not really over until autumnal equinox – which this year is on Sept 23 – obv. always in September…but can fall between the 21st to the 24th), and with only a smattering of gigs left this year, my mind was thinking on…
