With the country still in the midst of lockdown and no sign of any live music in the foreseeable future if at all this year I thought I would take the opportunity to look back in the archives, sounds posh I know but it’s just an spreadsheet, and revisit gigs I attended on this day down the years. I will keep this going until I can attend my first gig again in person so hopefully this also brings back memories for my gig going chums who have joined me on this great musical journey down the years.
Just the one today for my trip down memory lane for you down the years and it’s a quickie.
2006, Sugababes, Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher, Surrey
It’s Thursday night so it’s a night at the races and this time with the Sugababes. Yes you read that right the Sugababes. I have no idea how I got dragged to this one and I don’t remember a thing about it. I’m sure they probably played their hits whatever they are. ‘Round round’ is that one. I looked at a review on Get Surrey and apparently they did a cover of the Arctic Monkeys ‘Bet you look good on the dancefloor’. I must have been drunk as I can’t remember a thing but I’m sure the teenage girls, their mums and reluctant dads enjoyed it.
Let’s move swiftly on.
That’s it for today’s trip down memory lane. Here’s hoping we can get to some form of normality soon. Support your small local venues and smaller artists in these difficult times, stay safe and keep on rockin y’all.
