May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
All things related to Mr Jim Kerr
Seeing this today got my hackles up. I mean, seriously?! This is getting petty beyond a joke. I mean, it has been bad enough of late that the rotation of band members has been so …. frequent … that it’s hard to keep a “current band line-up” image current. I can see why for these…
I’ve only recently became a regular listener to the Feedback programme/podcast. It started due to a special they had on The Archers, soon followed by an edition featuring Dead Ringers. From that point on I’ve dipped into listening to it most weeks. I knew the Interview of the Year programme was coming up. When it…
And FINALLY! Billy Sloan actually acknowledges Hamish Hawk’s existence by mentioning him in the list of support acts for Bellahouston Park – hell has finally frozen over folks! Lol.

Here is the condensed recording of Jim’s interview with Nicola Meighan on Friday 22 November 2024. (Click post for audio.)
Yesterday I was looking at my Instagram feed when I was shown a post from Nicola Meighan. I don’t follow her, but sometimes the algorithm puts things in your feed that it thinks will interest you. This one was a post in which Nicola was photographed with His Nibs and her saying that he was…
“Further details about their highly anticipated concert at Bellahouston Park,” read the preamble on the Simple Minds Facebook page – with this poster. It said everything in one glimpse.
