I Can’t See The Road For The Tears
I had to turn it into something artistic…

All things related to Mr Jim Kerr
From Auckland To The Norfolk Broads
Well, not quite. Norwich anyway. The University of East Anglia, in fact. I found myself on the hunt for something for someone last night and…going down the usual “rabbit hole” one invariably ends up at. I was on Twitter looking for relevant info to what I was searching for (no luck!) but I happened upon…
Flirty Kerr With Collett
I’ve been meaning to share this here. Someone posted it on the SMOG FB page and…well, look at the photo. Jesus, he’s such a flirt! God, I’d give anything! You beautiful man, Mr Kerr. I wish I didn’t adore you so much. I love the story behind the crane. I never even thought about it…
Birdsong, Fascination and Friendships
The post I did about “The Walking Experiment”. The one that FINALLY led me to finding the quote about the line from In Trance As Mission? The Alice In Wonderland “rabbit hole” of a post that took me what felt like FOREVER to sort out? Well it led me down yet another rabbit hole today….
Minds Music Monday – In Trance As Mission – In Celebration Of Imminent Anniversary of Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call
When a song…and indeed a WHOLE ALBUM starts with the line “for just one moment in time I hear the holy backbeat” – then you know you’re in for something very special. The band were convinced of its merit as the opening track to the album, but Steve Hillage took a bit of convincing. He…
Kerr-oke Is The Real Thing
A backstage “post gig” sequence of photos that I first worked on years ago and decided to update. Jim’s holding a can of Coca Cola. Obviously it was at a point in time when he wasn’t too concerned with looking after his voice. I guess he was young and maybe didn’t foresee the band still…
Fangirl Treasure – Portobello Post-Punks Poster
The poster arrived today. It looks REAL good! I want it on the wall already but the current frames I have, it won’t fit in properly. I’ll lose detail, I think. It seems wider than the frame so I’d lose detail on Jim and/or Brian if I framed it in one of my current frames….

A Toryglen Mural?
I wished those flats at Prospecthill Circus still existed. And that I had the talent to actually paint this on the side of a building rather than have it exist digitally and only imagine how it could look on a wall – painted directly on it. Imagine approaching Glasgow City Council to get this painted…
Minds Music Monday – The American – 40th Anniversary
Released in May, 1981 – while the band are still busily recording the Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call albums, the first of the singles of the album is rushed out. But as “rush jobs” go, it has been a mainstay in the Simple Minds live set…well, since even BEFORE it was recorded in the studio…
