May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It was bonfire night, 1980, and Jim recalls it like it’s 2016! (Coincidentally…my first ever visit to Glasgow was that night – Bonfire night, 2016…I had a bankside view of the Clyde from my hotel window and I could see fireworks going off all over from the view I had of the city there. It…
Lol. Yeah…I strive for that every day…don’t I, Jim? Lol. Perhaps I do myself a disservice there? Lol. No. I know I’m in dreamland… A great interview. And always good to have the visuals. A chance for some keen-eyed ogling ? Happy days! You really are a hard man to please when it comes to…

I bloody LOOOOVE this version from Sydney in 1982 – Jim spitting venom…swearing! I just love it 🙂 Grrrr! Go get ’em, boy!
… But somebody’s got to do it! Spent the afternoon at Virginia’s, TRYING to make my mind up. Just ended up endlessly finding myself saying “can I just have one of everything of Jim, please? Lol Yep… solid gone. I did have help (hinderance) though… Thanks for having me once again, Virginia ?
My mate, Jim, (nnnnoooo – not THAT one! I bloody wish! Lol) sent me a birthday wish on Facebook with this YouTube clip of Munter (lol. Great name!) the Aussie magpie whistling Happy Birthday. I love it! Thanks, Jim 🙂
The uber talented Ged Grimes had, very recently, not only been making music and playing with Simple Minds, but he had been busily composing music for a “video” game (in this day and age, do we still call them “video” games?) called The Bard’s Tale.
