Two Weeks To Go – A Little Bit Of Cheer

“Don’t you have enough images of Jim?” I hear you ask? Erm…NO! Obviously not! Lol And with the number of images Virginia Turbett has of Jim ALONE, that is unlikely to change soon. I have only a few on my STRICT “shopping list” to go. Which will then have brought my collection of Virginia Turbett…

Embracing The Suck Since 1981

So…Jim. James. Sir Kerr. Laird Dash Fandango. It appears by this evidence captured by Jill Furmanovsky and taken at…the Manor House, I believe? That you, fine sir, have been practicing the “embrace the suck” mantra for some time now. And a number of years prior to Mr Forsey reputedly exposing you to such…questionable phrasing, yes?…

Kerrsday Change – Edinburgh Theme

It’s Kerrsday. The Turbetts have had a rotation… Update: I realised there are two more Edinburgh themed photos I have on permanent display on the other wall. The GLORIOUS “bum shots”. Oh, wouldn’t you just pinch those cheeks!

Bingley Barfing Babe – Minds Music Monday

Nice to see a couple of different pics from the Minds playing Bingley Hall on September 6th, 1981 as part of Futurama 3. Does this man look sick to you? Nope! Sexy – YES! Sick, no. But he was. Poor Jim was struck by the heebie jeebies that night and also performed some “technicolour yawns”….

Dan’s My Man! Wonderful In Young Life – Live At Last.

This amazing young man, Dan Crouch, has been sharing some piano solo covers of Simple Minds songs on the SM Official Group page. He had done fabulous covers of Hunter And The Hunted and most recently The American. And because he had covered The American it had me thinking that maybe he would be willing…

Minds Music Monday – This Fear Of Gods, Tiffany’s – Dec, 1981

I’m feeling anxious about the easing of lockdown restrictions. I used to be such a scaredy cat about going out and doing things. I used to stay home A LOT. Never went to gigs or hardly ever went out socialising. I’d just stay home. Lockdown has rekindled a lot of that stuff within me. Fear…

First Tear Forms In The Right Eye…

I posted this on the Simple Minds Facebook page, but thought I’d also put it here in case it is deemed too “off topic” and gets deleted. Such a weird concept this thing about tears and the way the fall from the eyes. Maybe it’s a fascination for Scottish men? Anyways, here’s what I had…

The Final Flick-through

The final look through my hoard of Virginia Turbett prints. UPDATE: I’m now speaking from the future! It’s September, 2023 and I am painstakingly updating this blog. Deleting BIG video files but uploading them to YouTube before deletion. So, now that means this post has one big original video, which I have just uploaded to…
