I’ve had lovely comments left on this post today. It’s great to know people are visiting, reading and appreciating the stuff I do here. Thank you! :-))
John Grant – He’s Amazing!
Thirteen months ago, today… I was in Adelaide, staying with my friend Janis and her family. I couldn’t sleep. I had tattoos done that day and sleeping on my back and left side was causing a little discomfort. Jim had shared John Grant’s Pale Green Ghosts for his post about St Patrick’s Day. And so,…
TC & Honeybear – John Grant
This has been the other earworm today. Loving the Weegie banter with the audience before the song gets under way. And then…TISSUES AT THE READY! (I’m gonna have to take a 300 sheet box to London with me!)
The Ronnie Gurr “Simple Minds in Berlin 1980” Book
One last mention of it. Little did I know when I invested in two copies there was a chance of being a lucky “one in ten” of getting a signed copy of the book. Did I perhaps make my chance one in five, having bought two copies? (I used to be fairly good at maths…it’s…

Where Dreams Go To Die – John Grant
At the moment my Simple Minds blog is under extreme risk of turning into a John Grant blog! As I said yesterday, I am just absolutely overdosing on this man’s music in the lead up to the gig at Union Chapel, London, on May 2nd. Today, two of his songs have been jostling in my…
This Boy, Though (Part 775)
I love how much of him now you can see in this photo… Timeless beauty ? (Yes! I’m having a fawning, sycophantic fangirl moment. It’s Easter. I’m allowed! He’s more addictive than chocolate. Just…LOOK AT HIM!) I really won’t be able to look him in the eye if the opportunity for eye contact avails itself…
Why Don’t You Love Me Anymore – John Grant
And while I am counting down the days to Glasgow…I am also counting down the days to seeing this man in London on May 2nd. I am positively ODing on his music right now in the lead up to the gig. He’s incredible. I really cannot wait for this! Champing at the bit…
Glasgow Countdown – Nice ‘n’ Round (yet uneven)
I’ll be able to check-in my Easyjet flight from Luton on Tuesday. OH MY GOD!!!
One Framed!
I get the feeling I should have bought THREE copies of the book! As long as I framed this one, and that shot of Jim I shared on the original post about the book…that’ll do me! But I hope I can frame a couple more…with some ingenuity. Perhaps I may just approach Mr Gurr for…
Look What Showed Up Today!
It’s here! And it’s beautiful!! (He’s beautiful!) OMG! What a serious bit of fangirl treasure it is! If you haven’t got your copy yet, WHY NOT?!!! You WON’T be disappointed!! Check my post from a few days ago to see more details. Can you tell I’m happy? :-)))
