Gigging Update – Gigs Added
Well, Saturday’s Trevor Horn gig is almost upon us – and I have amazing news…which I assume I am allowed to share publicly, seeing as he did tell me publicly on my Facebook timeline – Mick MacNeil will be at the show!!! Performing! Only for Brothers In Arms…but, still. For me this is monumental! I…

What’s To Come – The Gig For The Second Half Of The Year
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…

Minds In America Live Album?
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…
The Mitigating Circumstances Of No Gigs

Slow News Sunday Summary – May 12th
Well, it has been quieter than ever on the SM front this week. Having said that, Mr Kerr has increased his interactivity on FB ten fold this week! Well, it feels it anyway. And it’s very welcome. His posts are always so…I dunno…enlightening. I suppose that is the optimum word. He can post some funny…
Slow News Sunday Summary – April 28th
Well, seeing as most days there is not much to report, I have decided to coin the SM “Slow News Sunday Summary”. A look at what morsels have been reported via SMO or other related avenues during the past seven days. Cherisse on tour with Kelly Jones in June/July Sir’s been to Sicily Sarah’s Saturday…
