Age Quote by Jim Kerr

“When we started in the late 70s, I don't think it's unfair to say Glasgow was on its knees. It was the end of the industrial age and it really was looking to find itself. It had to reinvent itself. And Simple Minds have had to constantly reinvent themselves. So has Glasgow.” quote by Jim Kerr — Download Open image
