On Saturday I had the absolute privilege to view the entire photographic archive of Virginia Turbett’s work with Simple Minds. It really was wonderful. I spent approximately three hours, on and off, perusing endless contact sheets of wonderful images of the band, and individual members. Many photos of Jim Kerr. A whole sheet of images…

Jim Interview With Georgey Spanswick For BBC Local Radio (on syndication)
On syndication throughout England, on Thursday night, Georgey Spanswick interviewed Jim…and what a lovely interview it was. Even brushed upon the old “Prip” name again.

Hanging Around In Mojo…
Great to see Ronnie Gurr’s Hanging Around photo books getting a write up in the current issue of Mojo magazine. Great for Virginia too! Jonesy was “leery”? Surprised he wasn’t full-on lecherous! Lol. He seems to think he’s “had” every woman he’s ever come across (BAD WORDING!) when he talks these days. Lol Of course…
