May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I felt rather disheartened by yesterday’s 6 Music “Album Club”. The remit for BBC Radio 6 Music when it started was to be “indie” and “alternative”. It seems to have edged away from that over the years. I mean…it was fabulous that they gave exposure to Walk Between Worlds in 2018. No one was more…
As it was in Colchester two years ago. Considering six weeks before this photo was taken, I was persona non grata and blocked from the SM FB page – I never imaged a photo like this EVER happening! Or that Jim would ever be that warm with me ever again. Either he’s a fabulous actor…
I wanted to choose Space today because – I always wish to see Jim in my dreams. I spent the past few years before going to sleep, making that wish… “Please! When I go to sleep PLEASE let me dream about him. If I can’t get to be with him and spend time with him…

I remember this article from around the Walk Between Worlds tour. The photographer – as far as I was concerned – took some really unflattering photos of Jim, but in amongst the more questionable ones was this one. The best of the bunch. I had several goes of tidying it up but I probably didn’t…
Leeds, 2018. Don’t mean to be maudlin, but… To hear the “burning slow” lines return to the song during the Grandslam part of the tour – I was sssooo, so happy. They are the most beautiful, romantic lines. There was “soft rain” falling that night in Leeds too. And after all that had gone on…
A new single from the soon-to-be-released live album.

Dunno) at least asked for some participation and contributions from fans yesterday. It may have legs yet. I…

Well, here is the news! And here also, from the album, is Love Song – sounding overdubbed (Jim’s voice, at least) to buggery. Look…I hate to criticise, I really do. BUT…if you are going to release a live album…have the bloody courage of your convictions! If you want to keep that reputation of being one…

Why? I don’t get why anyone would do this. My video of Hunter And The Hunted that I recorded at the Grandslam gig at Colchester Castle Park on August 26th last year was taken and embedded into someone’s personal FB timeline, like the video was their own. They then shared the clip on various Simple…
I have to say…things is quiet on the SM front, and I do miss Mr Kerr. I hope things are okay. One can’t help but worry. I guess it isn’t our place to be concerned. It’s one year to the day since the opening Grandslam gig at Maidstone in Kent. Mixed feelings still of the…
