When I first started this little exercise we were a month into lockdown on the 24th April. Like most of you I expected this to last a month or two. The reality now is clear and sadly it will be a full twelve months and probably a lot more between my last gig and the next one. We go again and hopefully this brings back memories for my gig going chums who have joined me on this great musical journey down the years.
A quick trio of shows today for my look back down memory lane.
2017, Shovels & Rope w Matthew Vasquez, Islington Assembly Hall. London
Fabulous five star night of country rocking with these two artists all reviewed here at the time.
2013, Josephine, Bush Hall, London
I have absolutely no memory of this gig at all. I went back to the album and it’s a fine piece of British soul folk if there’s such a thing. Looking at her biog she only released one album and has largely disappeared along with my memory.
1986, Marillion, Hammersmith Odeon, London
It’s the eighties, its Marillion they were brilliant nuff said.
Don’t forget, support your small local venues and smaller artists in these difficult times, stay safe and keep on rockin y’all.
