May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It was a new venue for me. I hadn’t been to a gig at the New Theatre before. I had wanted to try and catch a show on the previous leg of the tour in June/July but money was just too tight at that point, and although money is still tight, things are set to…

Looking in from the outer, I see some tentative improvement on “The Group”. At least a few more memories are filtering through and the admins at SMOG (well, more accurately, the admins at SMO via SMOG…same admins?

Well…it’s a theory… I had to ask. Anyway…my passport is ready. And the money will soon follow… My passport photo STILL sucks! Lol. Can we see supermodel passport photos?

Things have been pretty quiet gigwise since The Stranglers and Stewart Copeland gigs at the end of March. I had wanted to see Michael Rother in London, but it was too soon after the previous two gigs mentioned for me to go. Too skint too. Had to knock trying to get to Mott The Hoople…

I’m sure it doesn’t seem the case to those who THINK they know me…I’m sure I seem the biggest blabber mouth on the face of the earth, but I CAN keep a bloody secret! One that I was (somewhat accidentally, admittedly) entrusted with was the info there was going to be a live release from…
Every time I see a post to the SMO visitor wall (or comments left on a post) expressing wishes for gigs, my heart breaks. I can’t like these posts or comments. I understand people are missing the band…and Jim…I do too. But…Jim’s post last week. Perhaps it just hasn’t sunken in with some people? I…
