Well, for me anyways. Quite a number of photos I hadn’t seen before in the pages of this little booklet. I’m sharing most of the previously unseen (by me) photos within. A few of them have been around before but I just liked scanning them and having a perhaps better copy than I previously did….
The final look through my hoard of Virginia Turbett prints. UPDATE: I’m now speaking from the future! It’s September, 2023 and I am painstakingly updating this blog.

Anyway, that’s semantics. This morning on the Simple Minds Official Group (or should that now just be “Simple Minds Group”?), a Swedish fan…
I have been subscribed to this person’s YT account for a while – but a certain Mr Machray beat me to seeing this gem first. I had seen the SSIS footage before but had never seen the Hunter And The Hunted clip from it…Just a few little gifs taken from it going back years ago….

A new release by Hanging Around Books sees images taken in 1978 by Laurie Evans feature in the book. I feel ssooo bad as I made the horrendous assumption that Laurie is a man! My apologies, Laurie. I’ve been waiting a while on this one as I had contacted Laurie some time back from seeing…
