Jamming with Duncan online
Duncan Nicholson and myself trying to get an online collaboration going.
I'm looking a bit worse for wear, this must have been mid lockdown.
Working on arguably the best tune ever composed on the bagpipes.
It's called 'Theid mi Dhachaidh' Meaning. 'I will go Home'

Eriskay

My day trip to Eriskay with Nancy. About the tune: The tune was composed for the 90th birthday of Mairi Mholl MacLean. My late mother in-law was a Maclean and always said all her organs may go but the Maclean heart would beat on relentlessly. When composing the tune my wife said, ''It better have a good beat then'' Thus, I gave it a 2/4 March tempo. I always loved a slow Strathspey.

In late 2023, my old bandmates, Brian McGee and Derek Forbes, along with John Leckie, our first producer with Simple Minds, made the pilgrimage to my home on Vatersay, Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It wasn't so much Desert Island Discs as Dessert Island and slipped discs! With the help of a Vatersay Boys drums, (he is now known as Donnie Spielberg) we hobbled our zimmer frames and in...

    Hahaha! Genius. Mick always put perfect layers and beds in SM tracks. For mine, the keyboards on the first 5 albums were astonishing work. From 1979 from far away Australia, SM and MM were pure oxygen. With deepest thanks.

    Classic...post by Mick. Awesome !!! This is how it should sound. Early 80's style. Love the way it starts with, in trance as a mission through to 30 frames a second, into celebrate mix. 👌 Can see at the start how your getting a buzz with a smile, playing your amazing synths at the beginning. Thanking !!! You, Brian and Derek also, for the fantastic sounds you created to all the dearly missed die hard fans. Regardless that no longer with Jim and Charlie. But either way, we all salute you 5 for all the creativity, hard work and entertainment over the years. Thanking also, all session players on dedication to bring out SM at its best !!! Just now waiting for a tour hopefully before you all retire. Was that 3 men went into a fish tank in the search of two other fishes to give us....... The world tour COUNTDOWN !!! a hint to say one is on the way ? HOPE SO !!! Or was that a big NO at the end?

    Thanks for sharing Mick. Never forget this opening track at Meadowbank Stadium Edinburgh way back around 1989. Absolutely mind blowing keyboard playing. Without your input and keyboards this song wouldn’t be anywhere near as fantastic as it is. I play this a lot and it always reminds of absent friends. Personally speaking I feel the Holy Spirit in this music. Cheers Michael. ❤

    Surely Shirley it's not beyond the five everyone wants to see - Jim Charlie Mick Mel & Derek to get on the blower to one another & just say you know what, maybe we just rehearse a couple of encore songs together & without fanfare choose 1 or 2 or maybe outrageously 3, ( Glasgow, Dublin or Belfast & London perhaps?) shows where we turn up and play and enjoy it together? I'm sure fans do acknowledge clearly that Jim & Charlie's current line up are all superb musicians just as they must acknowledge that even if the line up is fluid & the instinct is to move forward & stay fresh there is a particular line up that represented a band and one that made countless classics together. This subject just won't go away, it appears on so many threads of comments on hundreds of SM videos. Perhaps the answer is simple, (of course,) and it just needs 2 of the 5 to say let's do it. For funks sake if Floyd could bury a hatchet sharp enough for Roger and David to slice each others brain boxes off with the feeblest of swoops then surely ego or money or indeed anything can't stop five men who obviously respect each others views and musicianship from getting on the same friggin stage together and blowing the tits off pretty much every other band currently on the road!? Phone Charlie Mick, tell the charming bugger you're coming like it or not and by the way the 'World's greatest drummer' and Scotland's greatest bass player are too! SHAKE OFF THE GHOSTS! Mighty respect to you all.

      You can bet your bottom dollar when Jim hears that roar of approval when his 'old chums' appear even he will capitulate and then of course FINALLY they'll be a final tournament with you all. My middle name is Nostradamus.
