PppppPick Up A PpppPenguin
Well, it would appear Sir’s boots are not the ONLY thing Simple Minds related up for auction! So is this penguin sculpture, co designed and created by Fiona Sutherland. Can’t imagine it is going to be cheap! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maggie's (@maggiescentres)
What The Small Steps Project Does
Another reply tweet from the Small Steps Project wishing me luck on my bid for Jim’s boots (even if I lose out on the boots, whatever I bid, I will still donate). They also sent me this link to a YouTube clip to show what the charity does. Wouldn’t it be great to help? There…

Try Walking In My Shoes…
This is wonderful! Not only a great cause, but an absolutely wonderful piece of memorabilia anyone would love to have in their collection.

I have a confession to make. A long time ago, I made a Spotify playlist in which I added EVERY SINGLE SONG that is by Simple Minds or Jim Kerr in a “mega Minds” playlist. All songs went in…even ones I am not so enamoured with. This was one of them. Every time Saturday Girl…
Giving Thanks
Yesterday on Simple Minds Official, Jim gave thanks to all those involved that work with and for the band. Past and present. Up front, directly or indriectly. It was lovely to read. Today, it was the fans. “Super fans” he called us. ALL OF US! Every single fan he deemed a “super fan”. As…we all…
A View From The Other Side – Colchester
Now…I’ve seen a few photos from the gig…one or two with me in them…but I never saw THIS (CLICK HERE TO SEE) – a little 15 second clip of SM performing Love Song…but the camera swings round to the crowd…and who’s at the front at the end of the barrier? Yep! Mercifully “blink and you’ll…
