and photographer for the Midland Beat newspaper.
He was manager and trumpet player of the pop group Locomotive,
and opened the club seeing the potential for his band.
Earth then Black Sabbath
Thinking this might be a good opportunity, the members of Earth the name before Black Sabbath
approached Jim to see if they could perform there too.
Jim Simpson was at that time managing local bands
Bakerloo Blues Line and Tea & Symphony.
IIt was obvious that Earth needed a manager who understood their music so Jim allowed them to open for the well-known band Ten Years After at the club.
The audience response to Earth's performance
was favourable so Simpson also agreed to manage them
