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?

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.

What about his Italian-American cousin from Noo Yawk, Fuhgeddaboudit (who goes by his nickname of "Fuh," of course...
)?

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