Well Degsy asked to meet under the Queensferry Rail Bridge. I thought the Forth Bridge was the one next to it, the suspension bridge. Ah well

Don, aye that Black Puddin' had me belly in knots gannin' back doon the A1 . A shoulda had twin feeder pipes comin' oot the back o' me seat and a coulda farted us back home. The pic below shows the moment the baked beans started getting vexed... PAAARRRRP !



Aye, here's til the next time eh.
Bloody cold, but a good laugh. Maybe get a jar in the Hawes Inn next time. Degsy should be playing Centre-forward fi Scotland...HE PUTS NOWT OWA THE BAR

ROFLMAO!

Top o' the shop kidda
I'll sort out a few discs for ya over the weekend.
Cheers.

Nor pet, am keepin' them ones. I've already had 2 dvd's out o' Don after threatening to pass the batch owa to tha 'News O' Tha Werld'

Is that a pseudonym for something else? Actually, maybe it's best I don't ask eh?!

No dafty...it's a song by Simple Minds!

Yes. It's also her Simple Minds photo album, filled with some corking backstage shots from the early 80's. She sent it to me a few months ago and I scanned the images to disc. I think the disc was for Brian McGee. You shoulda seen Jim Kerr's Xmas sweater And wee Charlie, looked like he'd arrived 'fresh from the creche' Degsy wasn't there. Musta been showing someone his collection of Typhoo Tea cards in the broom cupboard

And Shirl was a fine looking damsel back in '82.
Cue Shirl...

I've already had the pleasure of seeing it!

@ Sleepwalker!

Bumping up the Degsy Forbes thread with 2 examples of his 'I Travel' bassline. The first example is by a fan, and the second one from the man himself...

There is a photo of Derek in there, though admittedly it's not a good one of him, and you may not have recognised him from the pic. Funnily enough I was at a neighbour's yesterday who knew some of the crew (He works for Chris Rea, and has worked with some of the folk who used to work for the Minds.) Thanks for the compliment by the way.. not sure whether I would have described myself as a fine looking damsel, but I'll bottle that one.. Who knows what I'll look like by this time next week, especially after tackling Snowdon this weekend!! I'll bring the photos up to Greenock for those who haven't seen them yet.. some do come with a Government Health Warning!!

I WILL BE THERE, I WILL BE THERE....I WILL BE THERE!

Another Bass playing demonstration by Derek Forbes, with a cameo appearance by Minds drummer Mel Gaynor. This time Derek plays 'Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel'

derek forbes is a god in the world of bass players!

What bass part would you like to hear Refoman?
Ask and thou may well receive

If memory serves I think I remember reading a feature on The Minds in Smash Hits at the time of Sparkle In The Rain which said that Derek's fingers were bleeding after recording The Kick Inside Of Me...

...not that I want to inflict pain but that's one I'd like to hear

premonition.glittering prize,new gold dream, in fact why not put the lot up lol

New Gold Dream, with a difference...

This footage was captured in the Seb Coe Suite at the Jury's Inn, Rotherham last year. It was an after party to remember. The quality of the clip isn't too good but here it is anyway...

be interesting to see whether simple minds tour with the original line up this year as its there 30 year anniversary

Oh there'll be a twist in the tale alright, just you see...

Jim's wardrobe assistants?

Carrying wee Charlie's high chair perhaps?

Makes ma blood boil, so it does!!!

No squire, it's a formed opinion. I agree.
I wonder if Simple Minds have handed in their rider for the upcoming tour.
I bet wee Chas Burchill has asked for the usual post-gig staple diet of Turkey Dinosaurs and alphabet spaghetti, weshed doon wirra blackcurrant froot shoot He might even get his face painted wirra tiger on it, for the after party.

And Jim....oh dint talk to me aboot him eh

Another imposter, but a very good one at that...
