Jim and Charlie on BBC Radio 5Live with Nihal
It’s a good chunk of an interview and Jim and Charlie were on great form. I particularly loved Jim’s tale of the time Charlie cut open his pinky finger in 1981, just prior to them touring Australia for the first time. Just the kind of story I was hoping for from Jim at the Paris…

Like Two Wee Boys!
Check ’em out! Geez-o. Pair of neds. (To quote Frank Gallagher when I had a play about with him once. He shared a photo of himself posed with Jim and Charlie a few years back. I asked him who he was posing with in said photo – obviously knowing who they were. Frank’s response? “Couple…
Blessed! Thank You For Sending Me An Angel

The Tour Continues….
I knew it was coming and….oh, man alive, this one stings HARD! I was sssooooo close, pre-Covid, for it all coming to fruition. I had concert tickets booked, a place to stay – all I needed was to book my flight closer to the time and it looked as if it was all going to…
NGD Live on Sky
I watched it as it aired on Sky Arts on Friday evening. And I would really love to discuss it but now I feel frightened to express an opinion even on what used to feel like the relative safety of my own blog. I genuinely believed that most people (most SM fans that are present…

Happy Birthday, Mick!
Well, it may well be Kerrsday today (ie: every Thursday is a “Kerrsday” to me. Lol) but it is also the most gorgeous Mick MacNeil’s birthday today. I believe he turns 65 today. Many happy returns, Mick. Here’s hoping for many more to come. Also, just a quick reminder that the Greatest Albums Live episode…
