Parliamo Glasgow – Lesson One: NOtP
In case it’s needed (duh!), translation as follows: “Hi, I’m Jim – and I’m Charlie – and we’re really looking foward to playing later on this year in the Proms and that.” (I had to play it several times over to get the wording right. Not because I couldn’t understand him, just…he speaks so fast!!!)…

Reflections in 2016 – May/June/July
AWell, for starters, I was happy to be home away from the scorching weather! What happened in the final couple of months when I was in Oz, made me realise why I hadn’t been there in the summer for 17 years! My trips home had always been in the autumn/winter. I had been back a…
Ginny Gems – Part Eight

Ginny Gems – Part Seven – Booty Call?
Two more SM faves. This casual shot of Jim and Mick in the dressing room. Their faces! I love them! And he’s in THE BOOTS already! (Man, I love those boots! One day I will hunt down where they are and buy them. Oh, they probably no longer exist. That would be a damn shame…)…
Commissioned Work For Simple Minded
This was something totally unexpected and wonderful! I was approached in early November to do a tour poster for Simple Minded – THE best Simple Minds tribute band in the entire universe! I was very, very excited…but very, very nervous too! All the art I had ever done so far was for me, really. “For…

I was thinking it needed lyrics in…whatya think?
Ginny Gems – Part Six – Kenny Captured
A couple of pictures VT took of Kenny Hyslop during a Minds gig at the Edinburgh Odeon in 1981. I know his time with them was brief, lasting just on a year, but it’s him we hear on Promised You A Miracle…and he has a fab style…and was pretty dishy too! And backsatge after, the…
