May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The baby bhoys! From left to right: Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil, Jim Kerr, Brian McGee, Charlie Burchill. OMG! Charlie is HILARIOUS in this photo! Trying to look ssooo hard and angry – with his hands stuffed down his jeans! Lol. We’re not fooled, Charlie! You’re too lovely and upbeat 🙂
Jim Kerr, circa 1984.

Jim Kerr, circa 1986. I don’t think long hair suits him much…but just a personal preference. He’d love to able to grow it like this these days! But I’m glad he can’t! Shorter hair suits him so much better 🙂
Colour photo of Sparkle promo shots out on the ferry. From left to right: Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill, Jim Kerr, Mel Gaynor, Derek Forbes.
Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill on the set of the Up On The Catwalk video shoot.
Another “Sparkle” era promo shot of Jim Kerr. This suit is the same he wears on the cover of Smash Hits magazine in Dec, 1983 and the suit he’s wearing in the Waterfront video.
Sequence of photos of Simple Minds during Sparkle In The Rain promotional touring, late ‘83/early ’84. It was a cold old day! They’re all pretty rugged up – except for Mick, he’s used to those Barra gales :-)) The first photo is another of my faves of Jim. That tousled hair is gorgeous!
Wow! Just wow. P.S. Despite what the caption with the photos says, these photos would have been taken on their second/third TotP appearances when performing Glittering Prize and not when they performed Promised You A Miracle.
