Green Day – Live in London

I return to Wembley Stadium, reluctantly, for what transpires to be a lesson in how to play in a place as huge as this – Green Day – thirty gigs in to 2024 and this is my gig of the year so far.

Independent Venue Week takes me to a packed out Joiners in Southampton to see a full evening of live music with three acts …and for just £12 a ticket.

Jah Wobble live in Exeter

After a gig free month, induced by a bout of Covid and the festive live music lull, the grey haired gig goer returns…. tonight to Exeter and its Pheonix Arts Centre to find bass man Jah Wobble.
