Exciting news as I love their early 80's work, just hope they still got the juice - and Jim Kerr gets back to writing obscure lyrics again.
They're also touring in October and performing all of New Gold Dream. But I'm confused about whether it's the original line up or the new one.

If I told you I was listening to them right now, would you believe me?
question is, is it the 'original' original line-up or the one that first went global?

Of course I've always been a fan of Jims brother, Juan.
Can you pass me my coat while your at it?

That sums them up nicely. And it's the original line up complete with Brian McGee on the skins. He's guested with Derek Forbes and Mick Macneil in their band FourGoodMen. Will find out if it's them touring though.James Blast wrote:they did become unbearable but the albums from Reel To Real - New Gold are choice
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I'm a practicing Catholic (practice makes pefect) and I'd be most interested on a pilgrimage to that convent. Please enlighten me.

I would like, at this stage, to propose that the coat smiley be made part of the standard set.
