I could never really see myself as a blogger, but it has occurred to me that I go to so many gigs it would be good to have a record of them, both as an aid to my increasingly unreliable memory, and possibly because it might be of interest to others. More interesting than the contents of my organic vegetable box or the brand of toothpaste I used this morning. Anyway, here I go.
Before I begin properly, I must list some of the best gigs I've been to this year so far:
Sufjan Stevens @ Royal Festival Hall, 12/05/11 (O.M.G.)
British Sea Power @ Westminster Reference Library, 05/03/11
The Phantom Band plus FOUND @ Dingwalls, 07/03/11
Ian McCulloch @ Liverpool Cathedral, 22/01/2011
Josh Ritter @ Scala, 19/04/11
The Handsome Family @ The Tabernacle, 17/05/11
The Low Anthem @ the Royal Festival Hall, 11/04/11
Edwyn Collins @ Shepherds Bush Empire, 16/02/11
Jonny @ Water Rats, 19/01/2011
Darren Hayman @ the Lexington, 06/01/2011
Special mention to Singing Adams @ the Lexington (with great support from The Lost Cavalry), the Old Blue Last and Rough Trade East.
And my last ever gig at the much beloved and long lamented Luminaire on the Sunday afternoon of Wake Week, Dry the River.
I don't know, we've always had quite interesting conversations about the contents of your organic vegetable box!
