May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
There’s a raffle that’s been organised to raise money for the NHS and Simple Minds have kindly donated meet and greet tickets to the cause. The meet and greet will take place at their rescheduled dates in February next year – at the venue of your choice. To buy tickets for the raffle (each ticket…

The line from Iggy Pop’s Five Foot One could not be a more appropriate title because, right now, I DO wish “life could be Swedish magazines”. Well, newspapers might be more accurate. Anyway, that’s semantics. This morning on the Simple Minds Official Group (or should that now just be “Simple Minds Group”?), a Swedish fan…
It was never the reason I started this blog. Not to gain followers. It was never about that. If nobody read it, I would STILL be posting here. If it never had “an audience” it would still be going. It has always been about self-expression and showing my passion and love for this band. It…
This is the last place I am mentioning it, strangely enough. So, I will just copy the rest of my blurb from posting about it on Facebook… It might be a strange one to give away as it is so personalised… but there’s no point in me keeping this copy. I already have a matt…
Yeah. Because some of us only miss you every second of every day and are made to feel like a sychotic lunatic for asking/enquiring/saying about it endlessly. So…I look in on FB for the first time in nearly a week, and it just compounds everything I have been feeling lately. I honestly do not know…

Probably would have been shitting myself again. Worried about Mr Kerr and what he thinks of me. Always do. Always will. Ridiculous,…
Wondering if that also means the Summer Sessions gigs in Princes Street Gardens are off too? That’ll be yet ANOTHER Simple Minds gig nae happening then? Fuck you 2020! Fuck you Coronavirus!
I’m not really sure what *is* left? This site has become stagnant. Gigs are on hold. There is NOTHING coming from the official channels from Simple Minds – now suddenly after 9 years on Facebook is now being referred to as just “Simple Minds” rather than “Simple Minds Official”. Another nail in the coffin? Another…

If you can’t see your city/date, check the official Simple Minds social media platforms.
