Although it was only a couple of weekends ago I’m already confused about what I saw when! I’ll do my best though. We were underwhelmed by the music offering on Sunday, in that there actually […]

BLUE DOT FESTIVAL 2019 – DAY 2 – Saturday
Day 2 and I can’t remember anything much right now so I will refer to my phone and try to figure out who and what I saw when. My initial memeory was that the bed […]
Blue Dot Festival 2019 – Day 1 – Friday
I arrived back from a week in Hong Kong late on the 18th and early on the 19th I was driving to Macclesfield, specifically Jodrell Bank, for the Blue Dot Festival 2019, there was no […]
Gillian Welch – The Harrow and the Harvest
Gillian Welch is a person, but also a duo, they are Gillian and husband Dave Rawlings, although they aren’t actually married, who occasionally record as Dave as well. Clear? Good, then I’ll continue. This is […]
Bob Dylan – Birmingham NEC 12th October 1987
Originally written February 26th, 2004 As Bob Dylan is probably the most bootlegged artist in the history of anything ever, I decided to try and find a recording of the concert I went to. It […]
Viagogo
My good lady wife wanted to go to a gig, this is a rarity, so I endeavoured to get some tickets, unfortunately they were sold out, however, there were tickets available from secondary sellers. The […]
Steven Wilson Live at Warwick Arts Centre
I knew very little abut Steven Wilson, and still don’t know all that much to be honest. I did know a couple of Porcupine Tree tracks but had no idea that he was in the […]
Peter Gabriel – Secret World Tour – 1993
The second time I saw Peter Gabriel live was on the Secret World tour back in 1993, which was 24 years ago and yet it feels like no more than 5 or 6. “Time is an […]
Slade – Hammersmith Odeon 1981
I have absolutely no idea quite why I agreed to go and see Slade all the way down in London, but I did. I can’t even remember who I went with at the moment and […]
Blackfoot – Hammersmith Odeon 1982
I read a post here by 80smetalman and it reminded me of seeing Blackfoot at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982. It was one of only three visits I ever made to the venue, but I would read […]

Lamb will make their hometown return to Manchester Cathedral on 16th October 2017. The whole concert is being recorded by the Live Here Now team for release as Lamb, Live At Manchester Cathedral across 2 […]
Gary Numan – Tonight
Gary Numan at the Assembly in Leamington tonight with my friend Dave. It’s the second time I’ve seen him there but I really had to twists Dave’s arm to get him to come, I think […]
Kraftwerk – Oxford New Theatre
I made 8 attempts to buy tickets for Kraftwerk at the New Theater Oxford just now. This took 52 seconds, and then every ticket was sold. There has to be a better way, 52 seconds, […]
Reading Festival 1982
You may recall a post a made about going to Reading Festival in 1983, I actually also went the year before, but only for the Friday, not the whole weekend. I was 15 at the time […]
P.I.L – The Assembly, Leamington Spa
I saw P.I.L in June this year at the O2 in Oxford, I was underwhelmed, partly my fault as I was a bit under the weather, but it also felt like a lackluster performance to […]
Some Things & Gigs
For information purposes, I have no idea how to reply to a comment on this blog, really, no clue at all. I’d like to reply, but all I’m offered is an edit button, which isn’t […]
BJORK LIVES!
Some time ago I signed up to the Bjork email list so that I could receive updates about new releases and suchlike, but also to know when she would be performing in the UK again. […]
Music you can’t listen to and music you can
When I saw Ennio Morricone at Blenheim Palace a couple of weeks ago he played some of the music from his score for the film ‘The Red Tent’. I’d never really heard of it, the […]
Ennio Morricone at Blenheim Palce
Tonight i get to see a living legend perform in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. It’s going to rain. It’s worth it though. Morricone is now 87 years old and had to cancel some concerts […]
The Beat/P.I.L – O2 Academy, Oxford
I am not really in great physical shape at the moment so attending a gig was very much not something that I would have chosen to do last night, but I bought a ticket months […]
