Blessed! Thank You For Sending Me An Angel
I have been concentrating on getting my blog tidied up and streamlined. Yesterday the very hefty outlay for the blog was paid. It was also more expensive than I had anticipated so it really brought me down. As I said in a recent post, I am trying to migrate my site to somewhere else but…

Let The Tour Commence!
Oh, such great timing. Literally on the eve of me having to fork out another £250+ in making sure this blog keeps on running….erm, thanks guys! Lol I went and looked at the info for the Hydro in the hope that I would at least be able to see a floor plan of it and…
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…
SM In NZ
I have been somewhat waylaid in passing on this information but…there is some tour news. The first announcement in a list that will no doubt follow. First cab off the rank for next year’s tour is New Zealand. A long awaited return to NZ. Minds were last there in early 2017, making it seven years…
Jim Kerr Interview With Kyle Meredith
The Neapolis talk. I’m glad he pulled himself up there because it is NOT true that it’s just himself and Charlie that like it. Bloody hell! One of those nostalgic things in which I can share an “exchange” – he pulled me up for not mentioning Song For The Tribes – which he mentioned to…
Blitzed Magazine – Direction Of The Heart – Album Review
A bit late to it. Not sure whether it was down to the date of the magazine going up on Readly or whether they are just behind the eight ball but…better late than never as they say… It’s not a bad one, all things considered. It is certainly detailed. P.S. JUMP YOU SAY? Is this…
