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.
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.
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.
Hugh Cornwell at The Cheese & Grain
Hugh Cornwell continues to produce albums that catch the attention and tonight mixes them up with a crowd pleasing selection of old Stranglers tracks.
