The Rifles live in Kentish Town
I’m surprised I haven’t seen The Rifles live more. After all I proposed to my wife at a Rifles gig. So I made sure we made the trip up to London to find this Saturday night party for the boys from Chingford.
The Stranglers – 50th Anniversary Tour – London and Bristol
The family in black gathers for the 50th anniversary tour. Over 30 Stranglers gigs since I started in 1979. The band has changed, suffered losses, but the performances continue. Always a pleasure.
Devo live in London.. for the last time (?)
A look back at one of those special gigs last year. Devo, playing in the last chance saloon…in the UK anyway. Whip It boys.
Muse live at Plymouth Argyle – Summer 2023
Looking back at the big Muse gig at Home Park, Plymouth in Summer 2023 and my early Muse gigs. Muse nailed the stadium gig set up in my view.
Gig Venue: London Roundhouse
As I frequent this London venue more these days, than the old days, a few notes and tips.
Declan McKenna live in Bournemouth
A diversion from my norm. A very talented guy I saw at Glastonbury a few years ago. I must be near enough the oldest person here – Wu derhorse, the support band, may be more my thing but hey ho.
Paul Weller back in Poole
The Modfather returns to Poole – cannot resist this opportunity – just a short walk down the road, well it would have been if I had not buggered my knee up. I hobbled down with a crutch and knee support. Couldn’t miss this one.
Jesus and Mary Chain live at Easter
A superb mature set of fuzzpedal and feedback rock – Easter with The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Noel Gallagher live in Bournemouth
As Noel gets ready for a Royal Albert Hall gig, he drops in to O2 Academy Bournemouth for a more intimate rehearsal. He airs his High Flying Birds material but doesn’t look back in anger.
