May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Some SM news for you. Firstly, Mr Kerr was on a morning radio show on the SoCal Sound (southern California college radio – can’t believe college radio is STILL a thing!) with Nic Harcourt + Jet. Most of the usual twaddle with lots of selective memory band “history” thrown in for good measure. Fifteen minutes…

The tour begins on 16 May in Ridgefield, Washington and ends on 22 June at Noblesville, Indiana. There are a total of 24 dates at this time, including shows in Canada as well as across the United States. Check the Simple Minds website for all venues and ticket purchase details. On top of that, the…
I could be wrong, but for me the most telling clue is the date in US format, and the times being US timezone specific first, followed by GMT. I think this is a MAJOR hint that a North American tour announcement is imminent. So, it’s Good News From The Old World for North America. More…
I’m sure it doesn’t seem the case to those who THINK they know me…I’m sure I seem the biggest blabber mouth on the face of the earth, but I CAN keep a bloody secret! One that I was (somewhat accidentally, admittedly) entrusted with was the info there was going to be a live release from…
Lol. Cherisse sharing a pic on her Instagram account. Jim seems to have a new job as a pizza restaurant’s sandwich board man. One would assume the need for strong, sturdy legs made him a shoo-in for the job. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???????? ???? (@cherissedrums)

It very much looks like Jim suffers it too. He looks in a contemplative mood in this picture by “steinmiller_productions”. Casey has taken some wonderfully reflective photos of mood and feeling on this tour. His photos really give life to a scene and conjure up an atmosphere. This one of Jim is stunning in its…

And, just to compound the fact this is a SIMPLE MINDS *cough* Jim Kerr *cough* blog…here are two photos of Jim from another wonderful set from Thursday’s Miami gig by 4Rio Photography, shared on…
I love seeing all these lovely photos of the meet and greets the American fans have had. It’s been such an amazing tour for band and fans alike. Would have loved to have gone to Vancouver for a bithday gig…but well, maybe next year there’ll be a birthday gig opportunity? Who knows what the future…
