’ REASONS
TO GO SEE
[Pl lc' Ll‘u'
1 You don’t want to step on his patch ‘Cos if you do, he'll bring you down. At least that's what he tells us on “My Patch”, one of the most Oddly, gleefully eccentric Singles of the spring. It's also the best song wrth a ukulele lead since George Formby last shuffled the boards.
2 So who is he? A brilliantly eccentric 23 year old who has already been likened to a Mancunian Brian Wilson. Jim's road to leSICéll Damascus came early. at the age of l l. in fact. when he won a Batman water pistol for his version of the ‘Grease Megamix' at summer camp.
3 He’s always had a conscience Norr's first song was a protest effort inspired by televrsion coverage of the Vietnam war. He was rust a wee boy. ‘It had no words.‘ he says piss—takingly, 'but my music was so powerful you would have known what it was abouf.
4 You won’t hear enough of him this summer That's because ‘Eanie Meanie'. the next single from the debut album Tower of Love. has been confirmed as the theme for Adidas' werldwide World Cup campaign. 80 he'll be all over yOur telly soon enough.
5 But success won’t ruin him . . . ‘I've got more peeple who pretend to be my frrends.‘ says Jim. ‘and I have a two percent ego increase everyday. Other than that. life hasn‘t changed at all.‘
