May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Well, it would appear Sir’s boots are not the ONLY thing Simple Minds related up for auction! So is this penguin sculpture, co designed and created by Fiona Sutherland. Can’t imagine it is going to be cheap! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maggie's (@maggiescentres)
Another reply tweet from the Small Steps Project wishing me luck on my bid for Jim’s boots (even if I lose out on the boots, whatever I bid, I will still donate). They also sent me this link to a YouTube clip to show what the charity does. Wouldn’t it be great to help? There…
This is wonderful! Not only a great cause, but an absolutely wonderful piece of memorabilia anyone would love to have in their collection. I’m worried it will be an obvious “highest bidder wins” traditional style auction. Oh, but I have money coming my way and I would hope to be able to place a SERIOUS…
I really hope I can get this to work, because it is one of the most wonderful things you will ever see. The newspapers…the local Dundee ones…there is a young man pictured in the Evening Telegraph, dancing. His name is Paul and he was dancing his heart out at the gig last night. His mum…
Local Dundee newspaper The Courier and Advertiser showcased the gig finale in their opening pages with a glowing review. As if it would be any other way?! Oh, I wish I could have been there! I pray it is not too long a wait until my next lot of gigs! “Normality” beckons for the next…

Yesterday on Simple Minds Official, Jim gave thanks to all those involved that work with and for the band. Past and present. Up front, directly or indriectly. It was lovely to read. Today, it was the fans. “Super fans” he called us. ALL OF US! Every single fan he deemed a “super fan”. As…we all…
Local newspaper the Somerset County Gazette have posted a fabulous slideshow of photos from Sunday night’s Grandslam at Taunton Race Course. Not just of the music acts either, but of the punters in the crowd. I know several fans who went on Sunday, and it’s great seeing them all having such a fab time. Just…
I was a mess yesterday. Never really used to get this “PGD” thing…but I have rarely been exposed to it in terms of there being gigs still happening in the UK that I can’t attend. Last year, for example, I was at the final two Acoustic shows in England…and then I flew over the Irish…
It is very rare for me to stumble upon a photo that had been previously unseen by me…but last night it happened with a couple of pics of The Mister whilst looking about Facebook. This is the first of the two. The sharer says it’s from 1985…but I definitely disagree with that date. His hair…
