May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
And this is where all the visual memories and mementos of my Acoustic “gig hop” Tour come to rest. What an amazing three weeks it was! Nine Simple Minds gigs in 21 days! I may never get to repeat it…but I hope I do. I get the feeling the 40th anniversary is going to be…

More extras from Dublin – penultimate set of photos… I saw and felt quite a few similarities between Dublin and Sydney…it was the last thing I expected, actually. The day of gig No. 2. Selfie attempt number one – not bad (could do without the “orange peel” right arm). I SSSOOO wanted an Acoustic shirt…
From the visit to Trinity College and the Book of Kells… Book of Kells guide leaflet with poem of Pangur Bán inside. The wording of Pangur Bán reminded me so much of Jim. Esp. the “Hunting words I sit all night” – the anecdote he tells (or has been told of him) of sitting in…
Royston Brady? Sounds a little too like Royston Vasey to me (fictional town name from The League of Gentlemen). Lol View of the Liffey from the Ha’penny Bridge. From another angle. Ans another angle. Yet another…(yes, I loved the Liffey and Ha’penny Bridge :-)) Another plaque. The bridge itself! Lovely wooden walkway along the Liffey….
A slection of pics I took of the gig itself (gig one of the two)… Just a few shots of him… And just to break things up a bit…him with KT Charlie? Where did you spring from? Lol. (Jim still kinda ends up in the pic anyways) Mr Gordy Goudie, esq.
Part one of a final selection of Dublin pics. I loved this “nattering ladies” sculpture. Of course, I had to join them in their conversation… The food there was delicious. Anyone care for a warm chocolate brownie and a dollop of cream? And this was in the cafe we had the brownie in. I little…
Extra selection of photos from the Simple Minds Acoustic Drury Lane gig (sightseeing and otherwise). A late lunch/early tea at the Museum Tavern…directly across the road from the British Museum (hence the name!). I had the camenbert and beetroot open pie – which was rather delicious – and very filling! Reccie in progress… More… Does…
Tried to take pics of the whole band – with varying degrees of success. Definitely need a newer, better camera! This one of Charlie turned out quite good. I was happy with this one. Not as good. Blurry, and Charlie looks a bit grumpy (trust me to get the ever-smiling CB looking grumpy AF. Lol)…
Some choice extras. I’m not far from London, so, it wasn’t really a day for sightseeing (only got back from Bridlington the evening prior, so London was as late a start as I felt comfortable enough to give it). These extra images will be mostly gig related. Fairly poor quality as I wanted to travel…
At Kings Cross on my way up to Bridlington. Had to take a snap of this for my nieces… Third gig in and I’m already looking “rooted”, as us Aussies would say. Lol Looking a “little” better in this one – Bridlington bound – on the train up. A view of the Humber Bridge from…
