Ginny Gems – Part Seven – Booty Call? 

Two more SM faves. This casual shot of Jim and Mick in the dressing room. Their faces! I love them! And he’s in THE BOOTS already! (Man, I love those boots! One day I will hunt down where they are and buy them. Oh, they probably no longer exist. That would be a damn shame…)…

Commissioned Work For Simple Minded

This was something totally unexpected and wonderful! I was approached in early November to do a tour poster for Simple Minded – THE best Simple Minds tribute band in the entire universe! I was very, very excited…but very, very nervous too! All the art I had ever done so far was for me, really. “For…

Ginny Gems – Part Six – Kenny Captured

A couple of pictures VT took of Kenny Hyslop during a Minds gig at the Edinburgh Odeon in 1981. I know his time with them was brief, lasting just on a year, but it’s him we hear on Promised You A Miracle…and he has a fab style…and was pretty dishy too! And backsatge after, the…

Woe Is Me…

I awoke with a very gammy shoulder today and have been in a lot of pain. Not really been able to move it or do much. Today has been a right-off. A general feeling of “meh”. It has been marked as a “duvet day” – a day for just lulling about, feeling sorry for yourself,…

Reflections in 2016 – April

Things were winding up in several ways. I seemed to have had my run with the Minds art…well, at least Jim’s attention with it. Such a mercurial man. I think I quickly bored him. Maybe I got a little too heavily invested? I’m sure I am very guilty of that. It was the most amazing…

Reflections In 2016 – February and March

(Images are of various bits of interactivity on the SM Facebook page. Click the images to enlarge and view.) February started out OK, from memory. The weather was still mild at times. Of course there were some hot days through January and into the early part of Feb, but there were good spells of relief…

Pahtae Toons

Simple Minds HQ/Jim is/are sharing the band members’ favourite (Christmas) party tunes…so I’ll join in with some of my own personal choices. This is definitely one that gets me going…but there are so many Motown tunes that do. Love Motown!

The Case Was Made – And A Gracious Reply Was Given

Oh, I could reach into the Internet and kiss him! (Yuck! Says Sir! Lol.) It really is just…amazing when he responds. He doesn’t have to. He could tell me to bugger off. He could ignore me outright…but he rarely does. And of course he replies with aspects I did not consider (the timing of the…

Coincidence? 

Yes…I’m sure it was. But…strange Sir (assuming it was Jim that posted it) should fall upon this topic after my little talk about his performing style sharing those Virginia Turbett pictures earlier. German stats were up today as well. Oh, if you snoop, Sir, I shall have to be deemed to be less “fawning”. (This…

Noel on David

Just touching upon January and sharing Jim’s review of Blackstar reminded me to share this. I was listening to BBC Radio 6 Music most of the day yesterday and caught Noel Gallagher in conversation with Steve Lamacq. Noel had chosen a Bowie track to play (well, not actually a Bowie track, per se, but a…
