Jim Kerr performing with Simple Minds on Scottish TV show Hear Here in 1980.
Hear Here Boy Pt 1
The beautiful boy on Hear Here (Scottish TV arts/music program) in 1980. There is some lovely tongue action in these gifs. I know it isn’t (Kerrsday) Thursday…but sod it! I love breaking the rules! Lol (I don’t actually – self-imposed rules, yes. Not the law though. Lol)

Why I Love…Thirty Frames A Second
It’s that bass, to start. Derek’s bassline on this song is fab! Mick’s synths too. And Brian’s drums. And Charlie’s guitar. And Jim’s lyrics…the song really works as a whole unit! But it’s that musical heart of a song…bass and drums. I know I keep saying it, but Brian McGee really doesn’t get enough credit…
TARDIS Gig Wish – 1983, Glasgow, Barrowlands
An absolute “gig of gigs”.

JK Menswear
Jim Kerr and Derek Forbes, circa 1982. I always think Jim looks very “menswear catalogue” in this photo – COOL MENSWEAR – like a GQ magazine shoot or some such. When he wore cool clothes (thankfully, he’s *mostly* wearing cool clothes again!). Derek, on the other hand, looks a bit “WTF? I ain’t even ready, ken!” Lol
