May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s a clipping I only recently came into possession of and I had never (for obvious reasons) read the article before. Some interesting things said. Interesting to read Mick saying that he thought they’d have all stayed together…maybe might had still been together (as of then) if Brian hadn’t have left when he did. Also…

Today Billy Sloan on his show page for BBC Radio Scotland was asking which gig that you’ve been to in the past would you want to go back and experience again. Not sure I would want to go to any specific ones, really. Probably just any Simple Minds one. But…oh, the chance to see them…
