May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Yesterday morning when I opened up Facebook to catch up with what had been posted, etc, during the night while I had been sleeping, I looked at my notifications to see I’d been tagged in a post on one of the SM groups. The tag linked to what is below. A new upload from Art…

It’s a daily ritual to check whether “new” content under the banner of “Simple Minds” has been uploaded to YouTube. And I try to remember to check every morning. Sometimes (not very often, granted!) it slips my mind but I usually check at least once every day. This morning I was on top of it…

We have a new bit of lovely first class bootleg audio from Art & Talk to enjoy this weekend. This one from the next leg of the Sons And Fascination tour on Feb 26th, 1982 in Arnhem, The Netherlands. I’ve not listened to it yet myself, but will be later tonight. Cannae wait!
A new bootleg has been uploaded to YouTube from the ever elusive but ever fabulous Art & Talk. This one hails from the Real To Real Cacophony Tour of 1979/80 and is performed in Hamburg on March 5th, 1980. And although still seen as the Real To Real Cacophony Tour, there are tracks from Empires…

Part three (final part) of the Simple Minds unofficial, bootleg Tour Program from 1986.
Part two of the Simple Minds unofficial Tour Program from 1986. An appearance from Laird Dash Fandango in this part. Of course, the photo is arranged so LDF is waaaay over on the left, by himself, and the rest of Simple Minds are all clumped together on the right. LDF is a SPECIAL bhoy. Lol…
Simple Minds unofficial Tour Program from 1986. I’d read somewhere that, for a bootleg bit of merch, this was quite good quality. Hmmm. It’s just full of clippings from music mags and stuff. I spent nearly £15 on this on eBay! If I’d known what it actually was like, I wouldn’t have bothered. But anyway…here’s…
