May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
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…

The day is here! By the time this post goes up on the blog we’ll be on the road to Aberdeen. The forecast is for sleet and as a precursor to it, I have been freezing cold ALL DAY (I scheduled this post last night – aka Monday night). The more gigs I go to,…
Slowly slowly, catchy monkey! I feel like that woman that I met at Liverpool on the Acoustic Tour – her saying to me every few minutes for two hours, “I feel sick, I feel sick.” I do feel sick…with anticipation and dread. The mere idea that this man is just not looking forward to seeing…

Where do I start? Perhaps with this morning’s dream. It was a sluggish start for me. I kept on hitting the “snooze” button on my phone. Most days I wake up just before the alarm first goes off. I did this morning as well, but was just only conscious enough to grab my phone off…
Cyrano De Bergerac was amazing! More on that to come. There has been pre-sale tickets released for the added Simple Minds PSG gig with all proceeds going to UNICEF for Children in Ukraine. We’re in! And…there are just some odds and sods to talk about as well. And … there’s this! A taxi driver? Really,…
But over seven years of producing the art though. Writing and study have taken over in recent months. I’m not sure when I last made anything. It has always been my own “Act Of Love”. The “art” always expressed the things that I wanted to say when words failed me. Mostly “I love you, Jim”…
….and very much vice versa! Old fancies die hard, eh? I was in need of a bucket at one point! Lol. It was getting a bit sickly. (Moi? Jealous? Don’t be daft! As if I could compete with the magnificently mellifluous Mariella…ever, let alone “sometimes”) Nice to hear him say her name more than a…
Yesterday was a day I had been anticipating for the past two and a half years. No rush! Lol. But yesterday it finally happened. A trip – on the 90 bus – to Toryglen. Not just to zoom on by on the way to Braehead. No, no! But to get off the bus and take…
