Born in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Jim’s career began properly as a session musician on an Altered Images tour of the USA in 1980. Altered Images, famous for their singer Clare Grogan’s voice on such hits as “Happy Birthday” (no 2, U.K hit), “I Could Be Happy”, “See Those Eyes” and latterly a smash U.S top ten with “Don’t Talk to Me about Love” finished a successful tour by splitting up. A disillusioned Grogan wanted to continue her acting success on Gregory’s Girl by pursuing a role on the next Bill Forsyth film named Comfort and Joy. Manager Gerry McElhone and brother Johnny McElhone were ahead of the game, forming and signing (in a week) the band Hipsway. Prime considered joining but made way for his erstwhile competitor Craig Armstrong.

Deacon Blue was formed in Glasgow in 1985 by Ricky Ross and comprised Prime, Graeme Kelling on guitar, vocalist Lorraine McIntosh, bass guitarist Ewen Vernal and Dougie Vipond on drums. Their 1987 debut album, Raintown, was well received and followed by others such as When The World Knows Your Name (1989) and Whatever You Say, Say Nothing (1993), with a succession of hits such as “Real Gone Kid” (no. 8 in the UK), “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” (no. 2) and “Twist and Shout” (no.10). The band grew to be one of Scotland’s best-known acts of the 1980s, but split in 1994. They reformed later to produce several more albums; including Walking Back Home (1999), Homesick (2001), The Hipsters (2012), A New House (2014),Believers (2016) and City of Love (2020).
