May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Sir posted about the awards ceremonies they’ve been to in Edinburgh yesterday. With the post, he shared a painting by Jack Vettriano. Of course, I knew of Vettriano, but had never really looked at much of his work. He really does have his own very obvious style. You could see a painting of his and quite…
Wanted to have the picture discs accompanied with something to fill the space. I thought of CD covers and was initially going to keep a theme and have Promised You A Miracle and Glittering Prize or SSIS in the frame…but they were a bit big (they were old style single sleeve CD cover inserts in…
I love this picture of Jim holding up a picture of David! Melting heart…melting heart! ?? I had a go at taking away the writing with my editing app. Not 100% done…but good enough. I can’t take the credit for the screengrab. That’s from fanpage.it – as is the interview video it came from. Watch…
Having involved myself with a great simultaneous live “listen to” on the Simple Minds International Facebook group…I thought I’d share my thoughts on the album, track by track. Now, if you are a reader of my blog and/or know me from the Simple Mimds fanbase, you probably know that if I don’t like something, I…

So, in this new Guardian piece about “Don’t You” Jim says Chrissie suggests they record the song…but when I asked him on SMO in February last year about whether Chrissie persuaded him to do it, this was the reply I got… I’m confused now. I mean, it matters little in the grand scheme of things…but…
Oh, I’m sure I can be objective enough for this! Lol On a personal level, this had been my first Minds gig in over a year, and only my third in total…so to say it was highly anticipated is an understatement! On my mind constantly was the health of my pet cat, Chrissy, who had…

I feel very, very lucky! I have three gigs booked for next year. Three SIMPLE MINDS gigs, that is! I’ll also be seeing The Stranglers in March, and Holy Holy in April. I don’t think I’ve been to so many gigs in my life! My Minds gigs are in lovely stages. First, I go back…
