True Grit and Rocket Science

True Grit and Rocket Science

Today marks the day of the straw breaking the camel’s back. I never thought a day like this would come but today, I unfollowed the Simple Minds Facebook page because…it’s just too much. It is nothing like it was a decade ago. And I can’t stop groaning at every new post, every new self-congratulatory piece…

Yes & Maybe, Baby?

Yes & Maybe, Baby?

Another act on the Bellahouston Park bill was announced this morning. A duo called Yes & Maybe; comprising one Glaswegian and one Parisian. You can find out more about them on their website HERE They only recently performed a show at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, on 10 May. Can’t say I’ve ever…

Kerr-Plug

Kerr-Plug

On Friday, STV will be airing an interviewed recorded with Jim Kerr on their What’s on Scotland program at 7pm BST. A big old plug for the show at Bellahouston Park it seems. Very kind of STV to oblige in such a way. More news on the interview after airing. Stay tuned…

Well, It’s Going Well?

Well, It’s Going Well?

I’m trying my best not to be contrary to all I’m seeing when it comes to Simple Minds on their current tour of North America. All appears to be going well. Although I still feel that a lot of “smoke and mirrors” is happening when it comes to the “packed houses” portrayal of the arenas…

Oz Tunes

Oz Tunes

I keep getting caught by the nostalgia bug lately. At the moment I’m leaning into it. Last night it was quite the mixed bag of stuff. Firstly, I watched the latest episode of In Your Room – the monthly video chat that Th3 Minds have. This month I was very excited to see that they’d…

The American Wave

The American Wave

The celebrations have been happening later than its actual official release date (from my own research into its release that I conducted – which to me implied the release date of 15 May – but what the fork do I know about Simple Minds, right? Stupid upstart johnny-come-lately that doesn’t even seem to like them…

A Spin Of Nostalgia

A Spin Of Nostalgia

I have vinyl listening sessions when the mood takes me. I usually listen to two or three albums in a session. For yesterday’s session I had the firm idea of listening to Hamish Hawk’s Heavy Elevator and from there I was going to see where the mood took me. Most likely a David Bowie album…

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

Please Stop Trying To Invalidate My Feelings! ‘Oh Jungleland’ Live And What It Means To Be A Fan

I can’t help how I feel. For the most part now I am staying quiet because as soon as a speak my mind and express how I feel I get all the crap retorts of akin to “I don’t hear what you hear,” “Just be lucky to get what you’re getting – they’re not getting…

New Hamish Hawk Release – Plus EP Coming Out In September

New Hamish Hawk Release – Plus EP Coming Out In September

On Friday morning there was a teaser on Hamish’s socials about news coming along on Monday. We were then informed that a new cover would be getting its first airing on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC 6 Music and just before 6pm the tune dropped. And sooo like Hamish, it was a curveball to be…

The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

The Anchoress Rocks, Stuns and Shines in Glasgow

I really don’t think it is hyperbole to state that this show had been one of the most highly anticipated – especially for Scottish fans of The Anchoress – for some time. The last time Catherine had played solo in Glasgow was at the Royal Concert Hall in 2017 as support for Simple Minds on…
