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 and it wasn’t a good one even form the legend that is Tom Jones for my trip down memory lane for you down the years
2017, Tom Jones, Sandown Park, Esher, England
Its another night of racing and music at our local Sandown Park. I reviewed it here at the time and sadly it will not live long in the memory or only if someone asks me the five worst gigs I have been too and then this one has a good shout.
The ingredients were all there, a great band, Tom still has his voice but it was definitely a case of going through the motions, take the cash and scram. Shame really but hey ho. I don’t think I did well on the nags either which didn’t help. Only saving grace is it’s a ten minute walk home.
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.
