May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I have to prefix this by saying…rather sadly now, this is my last Simple Minds gig for the foreseeable future. There are some Grandslams left, of course…Swindon, Ardingly and Taunton next weekend, and Inverness and Dundee the following weekend…then off they go to Mexico, the USA and Canada. Exciting times ahead for the band. But…
Jim was on Radio 4 this morning as part of the guests on Saturday Live. I’ve edited a copy for the blog for permanency and for overseas listeners to enjoy. Listen below…
Well, this is the first little thing I’ve done in over two months. Might as well try and get the eye in again, and try and get back to something. Hope the muse returns. Try to push it into coming back. It may lead nowhere…I may come back with full flourish…OR BETTER! (Geez, I hope.)…

A great location for an outdoor venue…right in the heart of the city centre. It was one of the main reasons I chose to go to Leeds when tossing up which of these Grandslam gigs to go to back in the early spring. Leeds would be fairly cheap and hassle free for me to get…
I am ssooo tired from last night. A full review will be on the blog tomorrow, but for now, here are a few pics and a video of Someone Somewhere In Summertime. Enjoy!
I do think we may have gone full circle now. I am so happy…but more than happy…relieved. In all honesty, the only thing I really regret now (apart from the obvious…) is – taking my Priptona name away. But, I was thinking that, if I had been banished from SMO, I may as well revert…
