Review of SITR Boxset in Q Magazine
Review of the Sparkle In The Rain boxset in this month’s (labelled April 2015) Q Magazine. The picture caption says (Simple Minds in 1984) – nope, 1982 that picture was taken. I have it from a magazine clipping dated Dec 1982. Not strictly true that SITR was the first album Mel Gaynor recorded with them….

The Bhoys On Set Down Under
The bhoys on the set of Australian music programme Countdown. The expression on Jim’s face sums up how he felt about the whole day, I think. I don’t think he was in the mood AT ALL. from L to R: Mike Ogletree, Charlie Burchill, Derek Forbes, Michael MacNeil, Jim Kerr
I Bought A Signed Copy
So, two days ago, I bought a signed copy of the New Gold Dream tour programme off eBay for £40.00! (Yes, I know!) I didn’t even really WANT a *signed* copy (though knowing Jim, Charlie and Derek have touched it feels a bit nice), I just wanted *a* copy. I’ve been waiting MONTHS for one…
