May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Extra selection of photos from the Simple Minds Acoustic Drury Lane gig (sightseeing and otherwise). A late lunch/early tea at the Museum Tavern…directly across the road from the British Museum (hence the name!). I had the camenbert and beetroot open pie – which was rather delicious – and very filling! Reccie in progress… More… Does…
It’s that little riff at the beginning. So basic, but so right for the song. And that little jangly keyboard. Jim writes “traditional” verse and chorus lyrics. I find the lyrics intriguing. And there is some…sexual ambiguity going on within “but I’ve got something on my mind / I want you here, I want you…
Extra photos of Brighton from the Acoustic “gig hop” Tour. There was quite a bit to see in Mr Magpie’s shop. A lovely place it was. Just thought of David when I saw this place… Every self-respecting record shop needs a John Grant section! Glasgow has the Duke of Wellington with his traffic cone adorned…
A rather unorthodox memento from my trip to Bridlington…
Because…you got to hug me :-))) (I love how I spun that round…lol. I wish!) In this order… For Sir interactions: Liverpool, Drury Lane, Bristol, Brid!

Oh, let us have a little ogle…I’ve been SUCH a good girl lately…
Some choice extras. I’m not far from London, so, it wasn’t really a day for sightseeing (only got back from Bridlington the evening prior, so London was as late a start as I felt comfortable enough to give it). These extra images will be mostly gig related. Fairly poor quality as I wanted to travel…
At Kings Cross on my way up to Bridlington. Had to take a snap of this for my nieces… Third gig in and I’m already looking “rooted”, as us Aussies would say. Lol Looking a “little” better in this one – Bridlington bound – on the train up. A view of the Humber Bridge from…
It wasn’t the best footage I captured, but it’s still a lovely memory to have of a wonderful gig (despite the crowd’s best efforts to pour a dampener on it. You can see from my position, just how few people I saw were standing up). It’ll remain one of the most special gigs of the…
