May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I had discussions about this with Malcolm Garrett as he said he was feeling a little nervous and overwhelmed to be asked to contribute to it (I think it might be this particular release anyway). He at least spoke to me about Sheila bringing out a book and I am guessing this may be the…
I couldn’t sleep last night. I had done my usual thing of listening to The Archers (Can’t believe how long I have been listening to it now. I still avoid the theme tune like the plague though – timing it to perfection. As soon as I hear the man say “you’re listening to” – I…
I follow Etienne’s account on Facebook as well and I shared this photo on my feed with this comment: I know Jim was sick at the gig but it is still one of my most favourite bootlegs of them all. And I love all the photos I’ve ever seen from this gig. I don’t think…
So, I abide to this request, even though I had things I wanted to give to Jim…. So…why am I seeing people on the band pages showing things that they’ve taken in being signed?! Grrrr!

Jim will be joining Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp on their Rockonteurs podcast this Sunday. Here’s a little preview snippet they linked to on their Twitter account… Obviously I am going to be “otherwise engaged” on Sunday (Newcastle gig, meet and greet, ya da ya da) so I’ll catch up on Monday. One day it’ll…

I might not have felt such anguish. I wasn’t even bothered about a photo. It was never for that. Oh, but it’s lovely! Obviously I’m not…but Jim and Charlie are – and Jim’s smiling! I know that’s not exactly a rare thing…but it was feeling that way for me, personally. I’m really happy.
It all started very early. About two and a half years ago, in fact. These two gigs, Aberdeen and Glasgow, were originally scheduled to happen a few months apart. I can’t even remember the original dates now – but I think Glasgow was in April and Aberdeen was for August. Then the shit hit the…
