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.

Pete Doherty live in Wimborne, with his family, and the dog
What a lovely way to see a performer – in a small theatre with some new performers, and his wife, toddler daughter and a rock’n’roll dog. I was like popping around a friend’s house, and it was his birthday.
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.
The Reytons: very live in Bournemouth

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.
The Damned – live in Bristol
A tour that draws strongly on tracks from The Black Album, Machine Gun Etiquette and Strawberries, with Rat Scabies back on the drums, brings out one of my favourite Damned gigs of recent years. Tonight is my thirteenth time of seeing them, with a variety of line ups since Hammersmith Odeon in 1980.
A week of 80s classics – Then Jerico; Martin McAloon; The Bluebells

Hard-Fi: Live in London… near Staines
I think half of Staines is here tonight. The stars of CCTV, Hard-Fi, sign off from their November tour with a sell out gig at The Roundhouse.
The Snuts – live in Bournemouth
After I saw The Snuts support Kings of Leon at London O2 Arena in 2022, I thought they were a band to see and hear more of – now I’m here.
The Clause – live in Southampton
The Clause, from Birmingham, have been recommeded by a few friends as something up my street. Yes they are, and now a chance to see them live, on the first proper chilly night of the winter.
