I was in town for a big Stiff Little Fingers gig this weekend. After wandering the pubs we thought we would drop in on this one as tickets were still available.

Sunshine, sea air, jet lag and a return to live music after a holiday.
AC/DC live at Wembley
AC/DC. I had to do it once.
The Killers bring a bit of Las Vegas to London
A little bit of Las Vegas comes to the O2 Arena, London with a string of concerts by The Killers. After my own string of Killers calamities, I finally get it right.
Green Day – Live in London
I return to Wembley Stadium, reluctantly, for what transpires to be a lesson in how to play in a place as huge as this – Green Day – thirty gigs in to 2024 and this is my gig of the year so far.
Placebo – Southampton Summer Sessions
The Summer Sessions in Southampton. An outdoor gig in the middle of the city, in the most urban of locations. One of my favourite bands of recent decades playing – short trip. Gotta be done.
Paloma Faith live at Hampton Court
I used to live around these parts – never seen a band in Hampton Court Palace, so I thought I would pick this one….a bit different for me.
Sting and Blondie, live on Plymouth Hoe
On the famous Plymouth Hoe to see Roxanne performed live… there’s a wait eh.
Status Quo – live at Swansea Arena
An essential part of British rock’n’roll culture. I’d never seen them live and thought it was about time I did. When some spare tickets came my way it was off to Wales for a few days.
Dexys find some old soul rebels in Poole
Kevin Rowland. What a huge influence on the early 80s. He’s had a hard time since but it was beautiful to see him back on form, here in Poole, leaning over me in my front row seat singing with his voice as good as ever. We weren’t seated for long.
