The New Barclay James Harvest? Tommy Udo’s Scathing Gig Review of SM at Tiffany’s 1981
Ouch!! Wow! What a scathing gig review. Tommy Udo obviously knows *nothing* about what fantastic music is! How he ever got to be a music journalist escapes me! Still, he does admit to being in a minority of one because – as he puts it – “the audience went apeshit throughout the set”. Damn right…

Jim Kerr Is Keeping…
Miss you, Jim :-((
Oh, I’m missing him 🙁 The guys are on tour at the moment. They’ve been in Germany for the past week and Jim has gone a little quiet posting updates on Facebook. It’s amazing how close that bit of interaction each day makes you feel…but he hasn’t posted much in the past week, and didn’t…
