A cracking acoustic version of Home…because today I have been trying to see if it’s doable. If I can get out there. It won’t be the longest trip…but it would be a start!
Better get my bloody skates on if I’m going to try and make it for the gig!

On this day, one year ago, I was heading off for my first Simple Minds gig :-))
I was in heaven! I’d wanted to catch them in 2014 but came to them just a little too late in the summer to organise going anywhere š But I made sure I was NOT going to miss out in 2015 – even if it was for one gig only!
I can’t express the joy I felt being there. It was just…wonderful. I was on a high the rest of the night, the next day and days to come.
The highlight for me was Spirited Away. By far my favourite song on Big Music. It had been taken off the setlist for a number of gigs prior to Cambridge. I wasn’t holding out much hope of hearing it, and then…
I was softly singing along, tears falling slowly down my cheeks.
It was everything ā¤ļø
OMG!! Look at him!!! He isā¦justā¦sooooā¦.
I love him.

One ticket stub I own from a gig I never went to (and never could have possibly gone to, being on the other side of the world and all)…
And the other a flyer for a gig I *was* going to and now canāt go to :-((( I was sssoooo looking forward to my first everĀ āarenaā sized gig too. Iāve only ever seen gigs either outdoors or in smaller venues. Was really looking forward to seeing The Stranglers too. I want to cry :ā(
Thatās the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. On Nov 26th, I will be lamenting not being there :ā( Feel for me!
Simple Minds – I Travel
Killer version – still fresh some 35 years down the line. Love it!
Suited and booted for the gig :-))
Someone, Somewhere In Summertime.
Ooh, can’t wait til Cambridge!!
