May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Tour dates for 1979 and an ad for their July 3rd gig at the Marquee. Man, I used to hanker for a TARDIS to go back and see Bowie play the Marquee. He played there several times in his early career. I bet that was not lost on the boys when they played there. Oh,…
More of my Belgian clippings shared. An advert for tomorrow’s Minds gig as well as a letter from a reader on their discovery of Roxy Music…running strange parallels with my own recent Roxy epiphany. I do love the cartoon type artwork of the early Roxy band dynamic. Google Translate didn’t do the best work translating…
And…he makes the bold claim of suggesting he’ll sing all the songs in French. Now, come on, boy! You struggle as it is to remember them in English…don’t run before you can walk (between worlds), mister.
Just from a little piece on tour dates inside the NME. The pic was bigger than the bit about the dates, to be honest. I like the pic, so wanted to share. Nice bit of fetish action…
As part of the clippings I received from Belgium today, I got the full NME article this photo was part of. I had previously only had a copy someone had posted on an eBay listing. I’ll just share this pic from it for now, but will scan the full article with the A3 scanner tomorrow….

Wow! What an absolute cracking version of Barrowland Star they did on Sunday night. Jim’s banter at the end with someone in the crowd. Lol. Stop worrying about your hair, Sir! We (well, I, at least) love you all the same. ?
I have only ever had a response like this once before…and it was very cryptic. But if memory serves, the previous emoji response got deleted. This one remains. But it feels kinda cryptic too. I mean, what do I take from it? I know some will think “Stop over-analysing! He blew you a heart-shaped kiss,…
I always get very, very excited when previously poor quality video clips of Simple Minds TV performances seemingly get aired by the TV channels concerned…archived and preserved wonderfully and those clips get shown again to then be uploaded to YouTube in improved quality. Most things back in the late 70s/early 80s were still shot on…
