Fanatical Friday – You Am I

Fanatical Friday – You Am I

It was around 1995. I’m not exactly sure when. Most likely around the time the band released their ARIA No. 1 album, Hi Fi Way. I didn’t get a copy of it straight away but my best mate, Steven, was RAVING about them.  The band I’m talking about is one of Australia’s most successful bands…

Six Years Ago Today – Wondertimes

Six Years Ago Today – Wondertimes

Today is the anniversary of my first ever visit to Glasgow – six years ago. I had come up to take part in 15 to 1. A bucket list tick for something I had long wished to do – to be a contestant on a television quiz show. There was somebody who was HUGELY responsible…

Minds Music Monday – Light Travels

“Hello, hello – is anybody home?” I’m not sure anyone is today. I feel absolutely shattered. You see, I went to Edinburgh yesterday to see my second favourite band in the entire universe. It was a long way to go for what was barely a 30 minute set, but it had been so long since…

Glue Dot Bow Jim…bo

This was the photo display I was referring to on my video the other night. The bow was stuck on with a glue dot and it kept popping off – almost like the power of Jim’s mind through the ephemera of the photograph was protesting “I am NOT wearing this kind of tat, woman!” ???????…

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…

Reflections in 2016 – April

Things were winding up in several ways. I seemed to have had my run with the Minds art…well, at least Jim’s attention with it. Such a mercurial man. I think I quickly bored him. Maybe I got a little too heavily invested? I’m sure I am very guilty of that. It was the most amazing…

Reflections in 2016 – January

The year started well. I was in Australia. I was with my mum. The weather was unseasonably cool. And then I created a little piece of fan art that blew my socks off! I had been doing these little pieces of “art”, just little highlights to Simple Minds song lyrics that particularly struck a chord…
