May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
We’ve always had an Art School tag…I don’t even think there is an art school in Glasgow. Jim Kerr, 1984 on Simple Minds I do NOT believe for a single second he’d have said that! I mean, geez, the Glasgow School of Art is one of the city’s most famous buildings! They even played there…

I shared this photo (just a quick snap of it when it arrived by post on my camera, rather than the proper scanned image that I’m sharing here) on FB when it arrived just to share the sheer beauty of this man and show some of the collecting hoard I had got myself. A friend…

Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
