His first job was as an Page 1 accounts clerk with the local firm of T.P. Topping. When war broke out, Jim and six of his friends didn’t follow the deep-rooted Fermanagh tradition of joining the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers or the Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards – they plumped instead for the RAF, where he served from 1940 until he was demobbed in 1947. After training in England, Jim was posted to the Middle East and Africa. The ship convoy taking him to his posting in North Africa with the Germans in command of the Mediterranean, and an ever-present threat of U-boats, had to sail round South Africa to the Suez Canal. As a leading aircraftman, he was stationed in Alexandria and Egypt, and they were involved in various battles, until the war ended. His service continued back home in Aldergrove and dismantling the flying boats back in Killadeas, Fermanagh. He ended his RAF service in France. Jim had sad memories of the war, losing many friends in action, and he vividly remembered the day when he witnessed an RAF transport plane crash at Lydda Airport, with the loss of 150 souls. After the war, Jim Kerr took up employment as a clerical officer in the Fermanagh County Surveyor’s Office in Enniskillen. With his typically caring attitude, he involved himself in voluntary welfare work in the area, with ex-service personnel.

Deshalb freuen wir uns, dass es den Simple Minds gelungen ist, die komplette Tournee in einem Kraftakt auf 2022 zu schieben. Alle 15 Deutschland-Konzerte sollen nachgeholt werden, darunter Freiburg am 17.03.22 und Ravensburg am 29.03.22. Die Simple Minds planten ihre Jubiläums-Welttournee „Celebrating 40 Years Of Hits“ ursprünglich für 2020 und in einem zweiten Anlauf für 2021. Aufgrund der anhaltenden COVID-19-Pandemie konnte natürlich keines dieser Konzerte stattfinden. Tickets für die Termine aus 2020/21 behalten ihre Gültigkeit für die Tournee 2022. Die Simple Minds sind musikalische Pioniere – und das seit 40 Jahren. Sie haben die Post-Punk-Ära bestimmend geprägt, als der wütende Krach von 1977 in tausenderlei Sounds zersplitterte. Sie haben den stylischen Art-Rock von David Bowie genauso organisch in ihre Sounds übernommen wie das elektronische Disco-Geplucker von Donna Summer. Sie haben sich und ihre Musik vielfach gedreht, verwandelt und erneuert. Die Simple Minds wurden zu einer der größten Bands des Planeten, standen mit dem Überhit „Don’t You (Forget About Me)“ an der Spitze der US-Charts und mit fünf ihrer Alben in Großbritannien auf Platz eins. Sie haben 60 Millionen Platten verkauft und die größten Stadien der Welt bis auf den letzten Platz ausverkauft. Oder um es mit den Worten von

The booklet was initially put together in 2005 in response to the question “is there a standpoint from which to view objectively the entire global finance industry?” I have long believed that there is, and many years ago, I named it Wealthcare. The word has many copyists, but few use it with the meaning with which I first invested it. My imperative for writing the book at that time was that, since 1992 I had been warning the global banking industry, in keynote speeches at conferences, in print through my strategy newsletters and publications, and privately to my clients, that unregulated expansion of the derivatives market would inevitably lead to a Credit Crunch.
