The Laird
Jim Kerr – what a man! One day he can be snake-hipped frontman sex god – dressed head to toe in leather and OOZE sex! The next, he can be in a collared shirt, tailored trousers and loafers and look for all the world like a 1940’s film star – in his guise as Laird…

I’m Going To HACKNEY EMPIRE!
Simple Minds are playing a very special concert for Radio 2 (also will be on the Red Button on the TV) on November 10th at Hackney Empire – AND I’m GOING!!! Row C, seats 11&12!! I cannot express how bloody happy I am. I’ve never been to Hackney Empire before and I cannot wait. It…
Minds Music Monday
Us Aussie’s knew a good thing when we heard it! (Even if some of us took 30 odd years to REALLY appreciate it! Now – that always makes me sound like I wasn’t a fan then. Not so! I was…but I was decidedly casual and not the UBER DIE HARD fan I am now.) So…

Why I Love…Wonderful In Young Life
I have just not been able to tackle this until now. This idea first took form just over a year ago, these “why I love” pieces. They are for my Top 50 Simple Minds songs, and I was going to write one a day for 50 days. I quickly realised that was a bit much,…
Cheeky AF – Then And Now
I saw a fan share the picture on the left earlier as it appeared on my timeline. It reminded me of the one on the right. I thought it would make a wonderful “then and now”. Warning: sickly fangirling moment! He is too beautiful! :-)) Also – ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! (Call me, Jim…
