May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The promotional hob-nobbing that Jim and Charlie (and at times the rest of the band too) have done over the past couple of weeks to plug Direction Of The Heart has been pretty unreal. I don’t recall such a swell of promotional schmoozing like this for Walk Between Worlds. There are firsts on the cards…
Two interviews took place almost simultaneously yesterday. One pre-recorded, the other live. The live chat happened on BBC Radio Scotland. Grant Stott was hosting The Afternoon show and during the middle of the program, he spoke to Bruce Findlay, Billy Sloan and Graeme Thomson about the book and Simple Minds. You can listen to that…
Today is the debut of this fine bit of merch! Wasn’t expecting this on Sunday night. Very lovely of Steve to offer me one of these fab shirts. Had their gig been going ahead, I’d be seeing them tonight in Glasgow. I’d have loved nothing better! Alas, it was not to be. Roll on December…
Beauty and the Beast was fab. As was the Sunday birthday lunch. Weather was iffy but…meh. It’s Scotland. What are ya gonna do? Yesterday was the belated added bonus of my Warm Digits boys being on the radio doing a live session on BBC Radio 6 Music on Marc Riley’s show. They played The View…
Firstly, Steve Lamacq played the entire New Gold Dream album as part of Radio 6 Music’s album club. It also includes an interview with Jim and Charlie recorded and aired in July, 2016, as part of the box set release of NGD at the time. On Wednesday (Sept. 30th), Ged was on BBC Radio Scotland’s…

I’m not sure if this is going to be a brand new thing? I did seek clarity on this but no reply (so far) has been forthcoming, so I have no idea. The blurb would seem to imply it might be…but it just maybe worded that way in readiness for it being on BBC Sounds…

Earlier this afternoon, Sir Kerr spoke on the phone (recorded a few days ago, I’m guessing) to Matt Everitt about the new release, Live In The City Of Angels. Click on the play button below to listen to the interview.
Here is the audio excerpt of Catherine’s interview with Steve Lamacq and her performance as The Anchoress (and band), performing a great version of Long Year and What Goes Around, live from the Southbank Centre as part of day one of Robert Smith’s Meltdown Festival. Enjoy! (Pic taken from Catherine’s FB page.)
…for your delectation, courtesy of Miss Cherisse Osei 🙂 Sir posted this morning of a new remix of Summer produced by Gary Numan and his long-term collaborator Ade Fenton. It got its first play during the Roundtable segment on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC Radio 6 Music. CLICK HERE to listen to the show (Summer…
