Chelsea Girl – Now With Added Cowbell!
Thought I’d better get away from this John Grant fixation for a bit. Bring this blog back to its main purpose of being a Simple Minds **cough! – Jim Kerr ogling – cough!** blog. What a venue this place in Hamburg looked?! My friend Yvonne (aka Birdy!) went over there especially for it…lucky lady! No…
Ten Weeks To Go…Til Glasgow
Poetry!
Mr Flirty
Listen to him! Damn flirt! Lol. “Of course, it’s Valentine’s. And you know what that means?” I replied out loud saying “No?” Lol. And then my mind wanders to many and varying things it shouldn’t. Goddammn, boy! I’ll be playing that bit of the clip over and over in my head now…dreaming of being remotely…
Simple Minds – Auckland, Vector Arena – 14/2/2017 Review
Quite a good review, but a shame this young person doesn’t see either Minds themselves, or the B52s shaking off the “nostalgia” label. Sad they ended their review by calling both bands “overtly” 80s. Read the review HERE
Official Promo Photo

Acoustic Tour Video Trailer
Ooh, we have a little advert trailer for the Acoustic tour. Lovely! Just a few short days away from it being just three months until the first gig in Glasgow – well, MY first gig – the tour kicks off the day before in Dundee. It’ll be here before we know it! Get your tickets…
Cruel Irony!
Oh, the cruel, cruel irony that sees the Sydney tour date on the Oz/NZ tour shirt be erroneously dated 9.2.2016! I was there for that date last year. The cruelest of ironies… *sigh*
It’s A Magic Number…
I feel very, very lucky! I have three gigs booked for next year. Three SIMPLE MINDS gigs, that is! I’ll also be seeing The Stranglers in March, and Holy Holy in April. I don’t think I’ve been to so many gigs in my life! My Minds gigs are in lovely stages. First, I go back…
Sword Fight?
I really was visualising all sorts when I saw the headline for this article. Lol. I could have very well imagined, back in 1980 in that Rockfields recording studio, Iggy and Jim having a “cock off”. As big as Iggy’s is (frankly, we’ve all seen it…the man wore clear PVC trousers FFS! Lol), my money…
