Minds Music Monday -Set List Song Wish – Careful In Career
Just ONE song I would sell a kidney to hear played live. But then again, it’s probably best left in 1981 and I get a TARDIS…

Leap Day…
Wish I could leap back four years to when the love felt reciprocated ???? Yep. I’m even getting sick of myself…
And The Tour Begins!
Tonight the tour kicks off in Stavanger, Norway. For me personally, I still have a wait on my hands until Copenhagen. There is 11 more days to go. This is when the wait gets excruciating until it’s my turn…
Simple Minds In Classic Pop Magazine
Simple Minds are the main feature in this month’s Classic Pop magazine, talking tours, new material, recording time, as well as talking about the release of the Street Fighting Years box set.

That Endless Feeling…
And it usually escalates manifold as a tour is about to start. This feeling that I am utterly and truly “persona non grata”. That Jim can’t stand me, barely tolerates me and is actually dreading seeing me in the crowd. And I wonder why I am going to such lengths to show my love and…

Warm Digits (Poliça) – St Luke’s and Winged Ox, Glasgow – 10/02/2020
It was a miserable old day in Glasgow yesterday. Everything and the kitchen sink, weatherwise, came our way. There was a bit of sun to be had but not much. Mostly it was strong winds, rain, sleet, and even at one stage a crack of thunder and lightning. I was quite cosy at home, thank…

A Real Good Time?
I really am not the biggest fan of the live album. Never have been and probably even more so now I actually go to many gigs during the year. Get it wrong and it’s completely devoid of atmosphere and can just sound appalling and probably doesn’t “sell” what is otherwise a truly stellar live act….
