May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Why? I don’t get why anyone would do this. My video of Hunter And The Hunted that I recorded at the Grandslam gig at Colchester Castle Park on August 26th last year was taken and embedded into someone’s personal FB timeline, like the video was their own. They then shared the clip on various Simple…
I have to say…things is quiet on the SM front, and I do miss Mr Kerr. I hope things are okay. One can’t help but worry. I guess it isn’t our place to be concerned. It’s one year to the day since the opening Grandslam gig at Maidstone in Kent. Mixed feelings still of the…
The Simple Minds Facebook page has updated its cover pic to a little animated video with a revolving crown on their claddagh symbol. It would seem some news of some sort must be coming… Stay tuned! (Let’s not get our hopes up too much though. I think it may just be a new release of…
There is a new Facebook page that will be highlighting some of the amazing work of Virginia Turbett. It’s only just got up and running, but I think it will become a great showcase of her wonderful work. If the first photo shared on the page is anything to go by (and I am a…
Oh, but I am still missing the “cherry on top” – the reply comments. I miss that element. It feels like a positive reinforcement when it happens. When it stops or doesn’t happen for a while I tend to think “Oh, he’s as sick of me as everyone else is! Lol.” And then I tend…
Two proposals thrown at Jim this evening. One quite light-hearted…just for fun, because it was lovely putting the playlists together…and it could make for a tour with a really different setlist. There’s just under 60 songs in total in both the YouTube playlist. Could make for something quite different as far as tours goes. I…
Oh, it is so lovely to have him around posting more often. I know I have been going on about it since before Christmas last year…but it is just so lovely when he interacts with us. I love it. It will always be the special icing on the cake of being a Simple Minds fan….
Every time I see a post to the SMO visitor wall (or comments left on a post) expressing wishes for gigs, my heart breaks. I can’t like these posts or comments. I understand people are missing the band…and Jim…I do too. But…Jim’s post last week. Perhaps it just hasn’t sunken in with some people? I…
His post says it all… Jim chose a different claddagh image. Whether it was his dad’s actual ring…I’d not be certain, but doubt it – so I decided to take a photo of my own claddagh ring, bought in Dublin in 2017.
Well, it has been quieter than ever on the SM front this week. Having said that, Mr Kerr has increased his interactivity on FB ten fold this week! Well, it feels it anyway. And it’s very welcome. His posts are always so…I dunno…enlightening. I suppose that is the optimum word. He can post some funny…
