BIC – Gigs with Ivan

Marilyn Manson live on Halloween

A visit of the controversial goth rocker Marilyn Manson to Bournemouth on Halloween.

Adam Ant live in Bournemouth

80s icon Adam Ant comes to Bournemouth, a year after originally planned, due to illness. I’m not sure the recovery is complete.

Judas Priest live and loud in Bournemouth

A rare excursion into the world of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and three bands that featured regularly in my weekly copy of Sounds while in the sixth form of school.

Florence and the Machine – live in Bournemouth

Nearly 14 years since catching Florence on her first big tour, I return to see her, or is it them, at the BIC.

Bob Dylan – live in Bournemouth, England

At fairly short notice I was amazed to see that Bob Dylan was coming to Bournemouth – I had to buy a ticket – sat in the BIC with Bob onstage and it’s still hard to believe he’s here.

Pet Shop Boys in Bournemouth

The synth-pop duo that were a backdrop to the late 80s and early 90s are back out on a big tour, tonight visiting Bournemouth. A curious grey-haired gig goer is there near the front.
