May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
First due to take place on March 21st, 2020, then rescheduled a few times during the worst of the Covid pandemic, it really is now all systems go and full steam ahead for White Hot Day – Simple Minds Fan Convention. In fact, there is exactly two weeks to go until October 15th. There are…
