I knew it was coming and….oh, man alive, this one stings HARD! I was sssooooo close, pre-Covid, for it all coming to fruition. I had concert tickets booked, a place to stay – all I needed was to book my flight closer to the time and it looked as if it was all going to…
I started following Peter Anderson on Instagram from being in contact with Malcolm Garrett concerning his artwork during his earliest time with Simple Minds when hired for the artwork for Sons And Fascination and the corresponding singles released around that…and various other releases coinciding, etc. In recent days, Peter has been sharing some photos taken…
