May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Wholly frigging shit! I’d never be lucky enough, savvy enough, etc, etc, for an opportunity like this to come my way, eh? Goddamn! Oh, well. Maybe I’ll spot them at the Roxy gig on Monday night? Lol. Yeah, I wish! (And I doubt it!) You can read all about their secret filming at Paisley Abbey…
