Jim and Charlie on BBC Radio 5Live with Nihal
It’s a good chunk of an interview and Jim and Charlie were on great form. I particularly loved Jim’s tale of the time Charlie cut open his pinky finger in 1981, just prior to them touring Australia for the first time. Just the kind of story I was hoping for from Jim at the Paris…

Blessed! Thank You For Sending Me An Angel
I have been concentrating on getting my blog tidied up and streamlined. Yesterday the very hefty outlay for the blog was paid. It was also more expensive than I had anticipated so it really brought me down. As I said in a recent post, I am trying to migrate my site to somewhere else but…

SM In NZ
I have been somewhat waylaid in passing on this information but…there is some tour news. The first announcement in a list that will no doubt follow. First cab off the rank for next year’s tour is New Zealand. A long awaited return to NZ. Minds were last there in early 2017, making it seven years…
Minds Music Monday – Roskilde Festival 1983 – 40th Anniversary (July 1st)
This Saturday sees the 40th anniversary of one of Simple Minds’ most memorable early festival appearances in Europe, at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. By those who were there, it was a magical evening. As far as I am aware, Minds were not the headline act on the night. From what I can see of…
