May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I saw this photo of Jim wearing flip flops (what we Aussies call “thongs”) some years back. I thought…”Well, he’s in the thongs…so he’s already in the right footwear. Let’s ‘accessorise’ him a bit.” So, here we are! Jim’s ready for Oz! Wish I was! Short of some miracle…it ain’t happening 🙁 So, here’s the…
Has never felt so far away. And no matter how I try and work it…I can’t get out there, yet. There is just no safety net if something were to happen. Money is just far too tight right now. Perhaps if I could borrow the cost of the airfare, to be paid back once money…
A cracking acoustic version of Home…because today I have been trying to see if it’s doable. If I can get out there. It won’t be the longest trip…but it would be a start! Better get my bloody skates on if I’m going to try and make it for the gig!
I kept quiet about this on here…ever wishful I could place a bid. I was ssooo hoping that I would have the funds by now. But, alas, no. I watched the final minutes tick by. They have spent the past 24 hours on £325, and the thought they were going to go for that price…
I could ogle photos ALL DAY…I really could (most days I do just that…at least for a bit of time anyway). And, just to compound the fact this is a SIMPLE MINDS *cough* Jim Kerr *cough* blog…here are two photos of Jim from another wonderful set from Thursday’s Miami gig by 4Rio Photography, shared on…
I love seeing all these lovely photos of the meet and greets the American fans have had. It’s been such an amazing tour for band and fans alike. Would have loved to have gone to Vancouver for a bithday gig…but well, maybe next year there’ll be a birthday gig opportunity? Who knows what the future…
A brilliant review of the SM gig last night at St. Petersburg in Florida by Gabe Echazabal. Click the image of Jim to read…
Instagram really is becoming the place to be for visual splendour. Between Cherisse and Sarah’s video clips and fans sharing some truly amazing photos, as well as pro photographers too….there is a growing treasure trove of Simple Minds visuals to enjoy there. Here is but one example. Some truly cracking photos shared by account “imageberne”…
Give me strength! Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has got it in the neck because his “Eighties Plus” Spotify playlist has only one Aussie song in it! Lol (They better not look at MY playlist then! Though, to be fair, I have plenty of other playlists that are Oz themed, with quite a number of…

It’s all so…timely! The impending whirlwind whistle-stop to Newcastle is exactly two weeks away. I won’t make it out there. I never really believed I had much chance to begin with. But…I know all the stuff. I shouldn’t feel maudlin. It’s a one off! I’ve been to 19 Simple Minds gigs in the past two…
