May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I had a gig on last night. I was meant to be seeing the Dutch band, THe Klittens, last night at Broadcast at the top end (or bottom end, depending on your perspective) of Sauchiehall Street – the M8 end, near Charing Cross/St George’s Cross subway stations. That end of it. As what happened on…

Seeing as it’s summer solstice this week, it seemed obvious to have this week’s Minds Music Monday be the seeming fan standout track from Direction Of The Heart – Solstice Kiss. Perhaps you could enjoy listening to it while having taken out a re-mortgage on your property to afford a glass of Macallan Rare Oak…

This was a real going-out-on-a-limb, no-expectations gig for me. No one threw the band my way. I didn’t see them as a support act previously. I came across them when looking to return to the QMU for another gig after seeing Brooke Combe there and wanting to return to the venue for further gigs. I…

Angel Numbers is the title of Hamish Hawk’s current album. The idea behind the title he explains in this interview (view from around the 26.30 mark) below. You can read more about the subject by clicking these links here and here. In Galashiels on Friday, as I sat outside the MacArts venue on one of…
It was last November that I saw a post from promoters, Regular Music, announcing that Australian music legend Ian Moss would be performing at Oran Mor the following June. I didn’t purchase a ticket straight away. I held off. Sat on the idea for a while. I kept the gig in the back of my…
I set out feeling quite nervous. Galashiels is a place I had never been to before and to keep costs low, when looking into whether it was possible to see Hamish at the venue, I decided it wasn’t necessary to stay away in Galashiels for the night. I couldn’t find anything that affordable there and…

I didn’t have time to show these yesterday. Also I didn’t really want to add a second post that would trump the MMM post so I waited to post these today. I received these two beauties from Virginia yesterday. The man Jim is talking to is Jeremy Lascelles – related to the royal family (George…
When I was 14, my “go to” concert footage at that time was U2’s Live at Red Rocks. Our nearest video store that stocked it was in the major suburban city where I grew up, a part of Sydney’s south-west called Liverpool. The video rental place was called VideoEzy and they were the only video…
It was another first for me last night. Not seeing The Lemon Twigs themselves. I’ve seen them on two previous occasions. Once at the fantastic Green Man festival in the Brecon Beacons in 2018 and then in the winter of 2019 at the Roundhouse. I had also bought a ticket to see them at St…

I just watched this and man, was I giggling. He doesn’t seem so sure on the old bike there. Lol. I’m sure he’s had easier rides… ???? It’s a short clip but I just love this kind of stuff surfacing. Jim “double denim” Kerr, circa 1986.
