"Off to a very good start with the Lostboy! AKA ElectroSets. A work in progress but it has
much further potential. New songs are strong - more to come! By the end of this tour I will have put
together something with a strong foundation for moving forward. And that - along with giving people a good time each and every
night - is exactly what I am trying to do! Thanks to everybody who came/is coming to support!" - Jim, 20th October 2010

"Thanks to another encouraging audience! Each night and with each show the set gets a bit tighter, a
bit more polished even. Influenced by Simon's opinion I changed
the running order tonight slightly, I had the impression that it flowed all the more evenly as a result.
Oslo tomorrow!" - Jim, October 21st 2010

"A real little venue. A city centre bar really! Going to be packed and very sweaty. Did Dylan's
Lay Lady Lay at soundcheck and will debut it tonight. Really looking forward
to this show. I know it will be the best yet!" - Jim, October 22nd 2010
"Indeed it went as well as I thought it would. Lay Lady Lay felt very nice, I think it is the first time I
have ever sang a Dylan song! Meanwhile all the Lostboy! tunes seem to get stronger each
time - always a good sign. I loved this small venue, a real rock n roll bar with a good audience! Pretty much perfect!" - Jim, October 22nd 2010

"Is tonight in Malmo the one where finally the Springsteen cover gets an airing! Might be, might not
be, who knows? Either way I can sense it's coming soon" - Jim, October 23rd 2010
Bring On The Dancing Horses and
The Night were both rehearsed during the soundcheck.
"A lot quieter than last night. During the encore I walked out to the back to watch Sarah Brown
perform - she was astonishing! Thanks to all who came as always!" - Jim, October 23rd 2010
Thanks to Stef for the set-list and the pictures.
"After tonight Lostboy! AKA breaks off before picking the tour up again in Belfast on 10th of November.
For the Irish/UK leg we look to add around another five songs to choose from depending on the night. Among them:
Champagne Moon by Lostboy! AKA,
Believer by Lostboy! AKA,
Celebrate by Simple Minds,
Sleeping Girl by Simple Minds,
and The Streets Of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen" - Jim, October 23rd 2010
"Heading back [to Scotland] after five gigs in six days, pretty good going really! Thanks to
Simon,
Sarah,
Martin and
Kevin for being out here with me. I think we made people happy over the last days and that
at the end of the day is why I am doing this. Mission accomplished!" - Jim, October 24th 2010

This gig appeared in the initial listings but quietly disappeared.
"Loving listening to Simon Hayward's LOSTBOY! AKA's "cosmic version" of
Swimming Towards The Sun. Will most certainly be doing it live on tour starting
next month" - Jim, October 28th 2010
"There's a week until the start of the Irish/UK tour on the 10th of November. Since Scandinavia I've been considering other songs to add.
So far Simon has worked on versions of
Champagne Moon,
Believer and
Honest Town all newly written over the last few weeks.
In addition he has reworked
Celebrate,
Sleeping Girl and
Swimming Towards The Sun.
I worked on a Staham piece called
Blood Diamonds.
All due to be heard on the tour at some point!" - Jim, November 4th 2010
"Songs To Rework: Little point in playing tunes Simple Minds regularly play. No point! Being so kind of a
waste for anyone to go calling for beauties like The American,
Waterfront,
Glittering Prize or any of the songs that are consistently played year
after year. Genuine excitement however in reworking songs from the Simple Minds catalogue that rarely feature,
including some not played for decades. Okay! Hope that explains things!" - Jim, November 4th 2010
"Big week up ahead: Lostboy! AKA starts his tour in Belfast on Wednesday night. Meanwhile Lostboy's little
feisty mamma begins some very intensive treatments. Wish us the best please! And let's wish the best for all who are dealing
with this epidemic called cancer!" - Jim, November 8th 2010

"[He] shook my hand - nearly broke it! "What are ye doin' in tiny venues?" I told him I was working on something that still needs to be
developed, never mind discovered. Needed to go out and put the hours in. Cover the miles both physically and emotionally. Get to know
Lostboy! AKA from inside out. "Yeah!" he said. "But the song are just f**king massive and I sang every word!" - Jim, November 11th 2010

The support was John McGuire of Irish tribute band Simply Minds who played a twenty minute acoustic set of
original material before Lostboy! AKA came on.
"Always feel good in Cork and tonight was no different. Looking forward to next time already. Sorry if I got a little too angsty to a
few people who stood in front and seemed to be only intertested in taking pictures or fiming non-stop throughout. By all means take a few
snaps but FFS, then put the cameras away and enjoy the music in real time! It's so boring to play to cameras. I want to play to people." - Jim, November 11th 2010

"Almost a year ago tonight I was prpearing to go stage in an arena in Split, Croatia. Tonight its a tiny Arts Centre in
Wexford Ireland. Loved it then. Loving it now. Keeping on doing it whether it is to 10 people or 10,000. All the same to me when
I am in the heart of the song!" - Jim, November 12th 2010
"I would liked to have stayed longer. Much longer. Instead we are driving on to Dublin and of course looking forward to that also. The gig
in Wexford was fab! Swimming Towards The Sun sounded great even if I made a pig's ear of the
intro." - Jim, November 12th 2010

"Last gig of the Irish tour for Lostboy! AKA and as expected it all went very well. Special treat for the
generous audience was our version of Echo And The Bunnymen's Bring On The Dancing Horses.
Great reaction to the set that lasted approx 1 hour and 45 mins. Saw quite a few familiar faces - thanks to all who traveled to see
Lostboy! AKA. Your dedication and support is amazing!" - Jim, November 13th 2010
