Something of a maritime adventure with another Slow Readers Club gig, this time in the unusual surroundings of the good ship Thekla. Great support band tonight – you’ll be hearing about him.

The Levellers – live & acoustic in Poole
A rare visit to Poole for The Levellers with their acoustic tour.
Bullet for My Valentine – live in Southampton
I finally catch up with the heavy metal band from Bridgend – Bullet For My Valentine – a few CDs from a bargain rack around 2004 and here I am nearly 20 years later. Let’s Rock!
Florence and the Machine – live in Bournemouth
Nearly 14 years since catching Florence on her first big tour, I return to see her, or is it them, at the BIC.
Showaddywaddy – live in Dorset
The remaining incarnation of 70s rock’n’roll popsters Showaddywaddy pay a visit to the East Dorset town of Wimborne… don’t be sniffy, come on in, you know you’d enjoy it (if you’re over 55).
Paul Heaton live in Birmingham – on his own at this one
This handily timed, well-priced gig gave me a chance to take the natural next step to seeing The Housemartins and The Beautiful South. No Jackie Abbott tonight due to illness but Heaton carried on regardless.
Glastonbury Festival 2022 – my wander through it
So who writes up a Glastonbury Festival experience six months afterwards? Well it was just too much of a beast to digest… but eventually I sorted out my four day wander.
The Sea Girls – live in Southampton
One of the bands I caught at Glastonbury this Summer was The Sea Girls – good enough to lead a grey-haired gig goer to some newer stuff and a ticket to see them in Southampton at the end of November.
Bob Dylan – live in Bournemouth, England
At fairly short notice I was amazed to see that Bob Dylan was coming to Bournemouth – I had to buy a ticket – sat in the BIC with Bob onstage and it’s still hard to believe he’s here.
The Hunna – live in Southampton
Rock-tober is over and it’s gig 83 of the year for this grey-haired gig goer: a mid-week trip to The Engine Rooms to see The Hunna.
