May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr

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…

Cherisse in rehearsals for Kelly Jones tour Sir talks writing songs and Govanhill library “No news is good news” the old saying goes. In that case, Simple Minds HQ is positively drowning in good news! Lol Just the one post this week from The Mister after last Sunday’s “I’ve woken up thinking about gigging” exciting…
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…
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…
After Thursday’s affair at The Stranglers gig, I was thankful to know that I’d be seated at the Stewart Copeland gig. From my memory of how the side seats looked when I was there for the Manic Street Preachers/The Anchoress Meltdown gig last June, the seats appeared like they’d give you a pretty good view….

It was quite a hike from Luton to Bristol. First a trip to London, then on from there to Bristol. I arrived at 3.45pm and met up with a friend shortly after. We had a bite to eat at the Boston Tea Party at the top of Park Street. A nice place. Looks deceptively small…
