May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Just a very quick post here (SPOILER ALERT: I’ll be discussing the current setlist on the tour and a new song appearing on it – do not click to read this post if you don’t want to know about it.) about the newest addition to the setlist. Firstly: Jim is tempting me into giving the…
As the Glasgow shows inch ever closer, I don’t think I have been this excited for Simple Minds gigs since that warm, splendid weekend in the middle of August in 2022. Everything about that weekend was incredible. And it’s going to be hard to top it. But right now, by God are they giving it…

Wish I could leap back four years to when the love felt reciprocated ???? Yep. I’m even getting sick of myself…

A very interesting post from Jim this morning. An amazing little insight into how his mind ticks.
