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.
Peter Hook live at The Troxy
Great songs, remembered through Peter Hook and his bass guitar and at one of London’s great venues and just off the main stomping grounds of the capital.
Ocean Colour Scene with Kula Shaker – live in Pompey
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.
The Darkness live in Bristol – with Ash
The bonus of Northern Ireland’s indie rockers, Ash, brings me out on a Monday night to see The Darkness again in Bristol. Always rocking. Always entertaining.
Red Rum Club live at The Engine Rooms Southampton
I think this is the best I have seen Red Rum Club and this is number seven for me, joined tonight by one of the best new support bands I have seen for ages. It’s a sell out.
Paul Heaton live at Kingston Pryzm
My first visit, at last, to this rather special venue which manages to host an amazing range of live music gems – today I am here for the early show by Paul Heaton, accompanied these days by the excellent Rianne Downey.
Dr Feelgood + Nine Below Zero live in Wimborne
Drawn by Mark Feltham’s harmonica, I am here in Wimborne to see this r’n’b double bill.
Gig Venue: The Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne
The Tivoli hosts the occasional surprise live event – including the visit of John Lydon for instance – with a more usual feast of tribute acts, comedians and older live bands of the 60s and 70s. Always a lovely atmosphere in this classic art deco theatre, in the pleasant East Dorset town of Wimborne.
