New (Old) Love Song Video From 1981
I saw this video on Daily Motion back in the early days of my fandom and it was up there in appalling quality. But now there is a clearer version that has surfaced on YouTube. OMG! Jim Kerr…you beautiful, beautiful man! I adore you!
The Best Interview Of 2019 Goes To…
“The NME hardly ever gave us any column inches anyway, and when they did they’d slag us off.” Bullshit, Jim! Lol This has GOT to be one of the best interviews in some time. I’ve heard most of the stuff before…but it’s great to read it over again. And I can hear Jim in my…

UK Drum Show – September 21st, 2019 – Manchester
It was a bit of a palaver getting in to the venue. People had lined up promptly. I arrived there about 9.25am for the 9.30am start. The queue hardly moved in 30 mins. There was an appearance by Matt Garstka on the main stage due for 10am and many people who had paid to see…
