May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I’ve shared this one before in the past, but it can have a re-airing today due to the theme… Simple Minds – circa 1981 From left: Charlie Burchill, Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil and The Boy (Jim Kerr) in a tie 😉
When photo editing was time consuming and could have bad results. This photo has been superimposed on the cover, which has made both Jim & Mick’s hair look hilarious! Also…how bloody wide is Jim’s right shoulder? Lol Mick’s in the “swapsies” shirt, again! Lol
Zoom Records promo photo of the bhoys. From left: Brian McGee, Derek Forbes, Mick MacNeil, Charlie Burchill and Jim Kerr. A wonderful display of aloofness and despondency on offer. I love this kind of display of nonchalance. Lol. God love them 😉 Bloody moody bhoys! Lol Charlie is trying hard to suppress a smile ?
Jim Kerr and Derek Forbes, circa 1982. I always think Jim looks very “menswear catalogue” in this photo – COOL MENSWEAR – like a GQ magazine shoot or some such. When he wore cool clothes (thankfully, he’s *mostly* wearing cool clothes again!). Derek, on the other hand, looks a bit “WTF? I ain’t even ready, ken!” Lol
So…this happened on Twitter. Eeeep!! Thank you, Derek :-))
I looooove this photoset ssoooo much. That is all. Simple Minds photoset. Pictures by Virginia Turbett (she’s good!)
Simple Minds circa 1980/81. Photo by Virginia Turbett Jim, in his usual pose of the period…hands clasped behind his neck. Looking resplendent and glorious…the other guys (apart from Brian McGee), all looking brooding and aloof – trying to outjim Jim. Lol Give it up bhoys (Brian knows) ! You’’ll NEVER do brooding like Jim Kerr…
