Live In The City Of…Angels – Out October 4th
Well, here is the news! And here also, from the album, is Love Song – sounding overdubbed (Jim’s voice, at least) to buggery. Look…I hate to criticise, I really do.

The Sue Ryder, that is! There has been an announcement today from the Sue Ryder charity (who also provide palliative and neurological care for the terminally ill) about an auction with donations of items from various celebrities and musicians. And they say that, on behalf of Simple Minds, Jim has donated tickets to a Simple…
