May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
As it was in Colchester two years ago. Considering six weeks before this photo was taken, I was persona non grata and blocked from the SM FB page – I never imaged a photo like this EVER happening! Or that Jim would ever be that warm with me ever again. Either he’s a fabulous actor…
Geez! I’ve had sssoooo much grief today getting a video up on YouTube! So I had to decrease the resolution of it and THEN break it up in to two parts. Not that ANYONE gives a rat’s arse anyways…but…well, you know. I just do this shit for my own entertainment anyways. Nearly SIX hours I…
A lovely 30 minute chunk of Simple Minds recorded in Dublin in March, 2012. Really nicely done. Fine video work, Trevor. Thank you so much for filming it and taking the care to add better audio. Excellent work! For those of us who missed the tour, this is as near to a TARDIS as we’ll…
“In the first part of this season, James Dean Bradfield looks at the influence of Chilean musician and revolutionary singer Victor Jara on modern Music.” JDB talks to Charlie during the podcast. Of interest to many of us SM fans, no doubt. Link to the podcast below.

Basically a weekly synth geek’s get together to discuss all things Synth and keyboard…
ERMEAGEERRRRRRD! IMMA GONNA CRY! I am ssssoooo happy this is up there. But I am sssooooo scared it’ll get taken away. PLEASE stay up there until morning, so I can make sure I can copy it for my own personal collection. Jim is just off his tits glorious in this performance. I mean…he really is…
A surprising Simple Minds Top 5, I’d say but probably not from an American fan stand point. And nothing really discussed post 1986 which, well…given the broader subject of this YouTuber’s channel is 1980s music, it makes sense. But…SM did have the high selling Live In The City Of Lights and Street Fighting Years released…
It’s a clipping I only recently came into possession of and I had never (for obvious reasons) read the article before. Some interesting things said. Interesting to read Mick saying that he thought they’d have all stayed together…maybe might had still been together (as of then) if Brian hadn’t have left when he did. Also…
