Simple Minds Feature – Classic Pop Magazine – Issue Two – January, 2013
Long overdue to have got myself a copy to scan and share this article. Damn pissed that the long coveted photo of them on the sinking Titanic is – one: cropped and two: crap quality. I love that other photo of them taken when they had one of their TOTP appearances. Jim with a tambourine…

Happy Birthday, Mick!
Always a great excuse to share what is probably the best set of photos I’ve ever had with ANY band member, past or present. Happy Birthday, Mick! You amazing, talented, gorgeous man!

The Little Things That Make Me Happy
Proud of my collection of photos. Changed the ones I had on display today. Had pages of the 40 Tour Program on display but decided to go for some favourites of Jim from my Virginia Turbett collection. I want to be surrounded by things that make me happy. And ssooo many photos that Virginia took…
The Price Of Lost Love
I read this just a few minutes ago (a friend had posted it on their FB feed) and the tears streamed down my face. I hope this is true, and if it is true – what a beautiful man Franz Kafka was. What a truly beautiful thing to do.
And Then It Continued…
Sharing the things that make/made me most happy. This is how it started. I titled this “And Then It Continued…” but this is really how it started. I loved this “artwork” so much. And I couldn’t believe that he liked it as much as I did. For that I will be forever grateful. I wish…
