May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I had that final instrumental bit stuck in my head as an earworm for days last week…funking hell! Lol I’ve always had a little soft spot for Let There Be Love…it was the last thing of theirs I knew of before 2014’s mega fandom took hold. That’s how ignorant I was! The last thing I…

Now, you guys know I have a couple of SM tattoos…but nothing on the scale of THIS! This leg of amazing tattoos belongs to Russ Field and what an amazing job his tattooist has done! Forty years of the Simple Minds journey in one big multi tattoo display. Wow! Thank you to Russ for allowing…

Well, it would appear Sir’s boots are not the ONLY thing Simple Minds related up for auction! So is this penguin sculpture, co designed and created by Fiona Sutherland. Can’t imagine it is going to be cheap! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maggie's (@maggiescentres)

Yesterday on Simple Minds Official, Jim gave thanks to all those involved that work with and for the band. Past and present. Up front, directly or indriectly. It was lovely to read. Today, it was the fans. “Super fans” he called us. ALL OF US! Every single fan he deemed a “super fan”. As…we all…
Now…I’ve seen a few photos from the gig…one or two with me in them…but I never saw THIS (CLICK HERE TO SEE) – a little 15 second clip of SM performing Love Song…but the camera swings round to the crowd…and who’s at the front at the end of the barrier? Yep! Mercifully “blink and you’ll…
