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.
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.
Red Rum Club live in Southampton
Red Rum Club have a top ten album and celebrate it at a sold out Engine Rooms. The Bankes Brothers from Victoria, Canada are there to support them and they are well worth checking out.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark live in Leeds
While plotting a tour north to see some different towns and cities, friends and a football match, I noticed OMD were playing – why not and glad I did.
Nouvelle Vague à la 1865
Somehow this French initiative that combines post-punk 80s classics with a bosa nova style had passed me by – well I’ve caught up now. Don’t you miss out.
Gig Venue: Cheese & Grain, Frome
The Cheese & Grain, keeping Frome on the rock’n’roll map of Britain.
The Vaccines album launch day show – Southsea Pier
Did we get this right? The Vaccines playing on South Parade Pier in Southsea? Surely not. Yup that’s what happened and that’s how I kicked off my new gig year.
