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 with Iron and Wine for today’s trip down memory lane for you down the years.
2014, Iron and Wine, Adelphi Theatre, London
Making the use of an empty West End theatre on a Sunday night we head across the Thames from Waterloo to see Sam Beam. I reviewed it here at the time in the early days of the blog and looking back I think my comments still hold true. It was not good with moments of great but just lost direction in places with unscripted approach to the night.
That’s it for today’s trip down memory lane. Here’s hoping we can get to some form of normality soon but with the new lockdown my last chance of a gig disappeared this month and I have now had my first gig of 2021 cancelled so that will take it to a full twelve months at least between gigs.
Support your small local venues and smaller artists in these difficult times, stay safe and keep on rockin y’all.
