Nae Summer Nights – For Summer Sessions
Why? I mean… of course Edinburgh needed a gig. But couldn’t we have had a Summer Nights gig at the Kelvingrove Bandstand too? I have enough gigs to be getting on with, I guess. Anyways… another gig. Edinburgh this time. August 18th. Further details, info to buy tickets, etc, from the usual sources. UPDATE: Tickets…
A Revolution In August?
Yes, August will be a quiet month gig wise… but there is THIS. I missed seeing him at the same store a few months back. Only saw that he had been there a few days after it happened. This time I know and can quite easily get there on the day. Maybe see if I…
Have An Ogling Merry Christmas
Christmas has arrived a little early for me this year in the form of a set of three prints from Virginia Turbett of Jim backstage at a gig at – I think it’s the Odeon in Edinburgh on August 27th, 1981 – and I think it may be post gig, as he appears to be,…
Simple Minds Tour Diary – Grandslam 2018 Compilation
A great retrospective of the summer’s Grandslam tour. I wish I could have gone to more in retrospect, having gone through most of July wondering if I should be going to any at all. But the three I went to were incredibly special for all varying reasons. And they will each of them retain wonderful…

This was the experience of a lifetime. Genuinely! I had been very hopeful that my entry for the competition to the Green Man festival would be successful. I noticed a mistake in the crossword as I was solving it, so I was hopeful that I would be savvy enough in providing what was the correct…
Review: Grandslam – Simple Minds + KT Tunstall – Millennium Square, Leeds – 11/08/2018
A great location for an outdoor venue…right in the heart of the city centre. It was one of the main reasons I chose to go to Leeds when tossing up which of these Grandslam gigs to go to back in the early spring. Leeds would be fairly cheap and hassle free for me to get…
Review: Thumpasaurus – The Social, London – August 8th, 2018
I went to this gig with very little knowledge of the band. I had heard Mental Karate several weeks back on Billy Sloan’s show on BBC Radio Scotland and loved what I’d heard. He then played it again a few Saturday’s back and it had been stuck in my head as a constant earworm since….
