A trip down to lovely Lyme Regis and The Marine Theatre – a great venue that looks out to sea. Tonight it was for The Magic Numbers.
Andy Bell live in Bournemouth
Being as I have never seen Erasure live, I thought I’d pop along to Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre to see Andy Bell. He’s still sparkling.
Manic Street Preachers – live in Shepherd’s Bush
The Manics return to Shepherd’s Bush, a place they used to have as a London base in the early days, for two sell-out shows at the Empire. My gig of the year so far.

The warm comfort of Ocean Colour Scene’s songs with use of nostalgic backdrops of the band in their younger days makes for retro feel in Pompey tonight.
