In case you missed it, Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt (aka The Rockonteurs) spoke with Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill about their forthcoming (released on 2 October) memoir Our Secrets are the Same.

Some Succinct Reviews Are In!

Some Succinct Reviews Are In!

I’ve been keeping an eye out on the book review sections of the music magazines to see if and how they’re rating Our Secrets Are The Same. So far, there have been two reviews. Uncut concentrated on Blitz as their feature book with the Kerr/Burchill offering relegated to the “also ran” bullet-point rating of 8/10….

Book Appearances Update – Details for London!

Details for London’s appearance have landed, with JK and CB in conversation with Mariella Sometimes. Taking place at the British Library on Tuesday 21 October at 7pm. London prices too at £20 a ticket! (Edinburgh is only a tenner. Fooking hell!) Handy for the Londoners and those that live within travel distance – the British…

More Drip-fed Details For Book Signings (Should it be Aye Write or “Aye, right”?)

More Drip-fed Details For Book Signings (Should it be Aye Write or “Aye, right”?)

A post on the Simple Minds Facebook page confirmed there will be other signing events taking place in Glasgow and London (as well as the Toppings Edinburgh event) but the ‘cloak and dagger’ continues. Now, for me, I don’t give a flying hoot about attending any of these signings but I know a number of…

Toppings Appearance in Edinburgh – UPDATE 19/09/25 – It’s back, again (but for how long?) NEW DATE/VENUE

UPDATE 19/09/2025: Thanks to Scott for the heads up on the change of date to the event. It’s now taking place (at least for now!) on Monday 20 October at a different venue. If memory serves me well, it’s the same venue where Graeme Thomson was in conversation with Bruce Findlay back in August 2022….

Artistic Appeal: Sitting rooms and seduction

Artistic Appeal: Sitting rooms and seduction

CUTLER’S CULT On Saturday afternoon I went to Edinburgh, suffering the Fringe hoards to see a new kind of show being performed by Hamish Hawk. A true performance piece titled Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0. I’m still struggling to pin down a succinct definition of what it was other than just the…

A Change in Attitude?

A Change in Attitude?

I’ve been staying off Facebook more and more these days. Even more so at the moment, for as much as I appreciate the “Taormina Team” all being excited and ridiculously enthusiastic about being over there for those final shows, it will be all I’ll see if I open up Facebook and dare step in. I…

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

The Bellahouston Breakdown – A Long Vlog Post (Sorry!)

Sorry for the vid – I felt like dissecting it all this way instead of taking hours to compile a written post. I know the vlog posts aren’t to everyone’s liking, so to save you the pain, the condensed summary is: Yes & Maybe – great! Hamish Hawk – you know I can wax lyrical…

UPDATE: (New Additions) Selling Some Stuff From My Collection

I just wanted to make you guys aware that I am selling off some of my Simple Minds collection on eBay. I’m only posting to UK sellers I’m afraid. There is just too much hassle with posting things overseas. I’ll link to each item. You can see the listings below: Graffiti Soul original 2009 release…
