Minds Music Monday -Set List Song Wish – Careful In Career

Leap Day…
Wish I could leap back four years to when the love felt reciprocated ???? Yep. I’m even getting sick of myself…
Fan AND Friend? In My Dreams!
Oh, how I wish I could straddle those first two descriptions, but I know I will only ever be steadfastly in the first. If I’m even in there. I might not be “real” enough to even fit that mould. *sigh* Probably why I never actually passed on good luck to the band in general (extended…

Retreating To My Own Space
Where I can no longer “offend” the likes of someone who has decided to name themselves after a potato. So, Maris Piper, et al – and whomever I keep on seemingly offending at Simple Minds Official – I’ll stay right here and just respond to posts within my own space. To be honest, all the…
Nae Summer Nights – For Summer Sessions
Why? I mean… of course Edinburgh needed a gig. But couldn’t we have had a Summer Nights gig at the Kelvingrove Bandstand too? I have enough gigs to be getting on with, I guess. Anyways… another gig. Edinburgh this time. August 18th. Further details, info to buy tickets, etc, from the usual sources. UPDATE: Tickets…
