May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
A slection of pics I took of the gig itself (gig one of the two)… Just a few shots of him… And just to break things up a bit…him with KT Charlie? Where did you spring from? Lol. (Jim still kinda ends up in the pic anyways) Mr Gordy Goudie, esq.
I have tried so much to refrain from doing this. To express it publicly. As if it’ll matter, or make a difference to things. Ultimately, it won’t. I don’t think it will anyway. Other than it altering what he may think of me. And…I still really have no clue what he thinks of me, anyway….
Part one of a final selection of Dublin pics. I loved this “nattering ladies” sculpture. Of course, I had to join them in their conversation… The food there was delicious. Anyone care for a warm chocolate brownie and a dollop of cream? And this was in the cafe we had the brownie in. I little…

Extra selection of photos from the Simple Minds Acoustic Drury Lane gig (sightseeing and otherwise). A late lunch/early tea at the Museum Tavern…directly across the road from the British Museum (hence the name!).

And there is some…sexual ambiguity going on within “but I’ve got something on my mind / I want you here, I want you…
Extra photos of Brighton from the Acoustic “gig hop” Tour. There was quite a bit to see in Mr Magpie’s shop. A lovely place it was. Just thought of David when I saw this place… Every self-respecting record shop needs a John Grant section! Glasgow has the Duke of Wellington with his traffic cone adorned…
This really was quite an unexpected treat. Catherine was very generously giving away a few tickets last week on her Facebook page. Before I commited to putting my hat in the ring, I made sure I could get there. I wasn’t going to waste her time by putting my hand up for tickets if I…

Recorded on me iPhone, like. My idea of getting one song from each gig didn’t quite work out, but here’s one previously not shared.
