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.
Three quickies today on my look back trip down memory lane for you down the years.
2019, Darlingside, Omeara, London
A late entry in the year for gig of 2019 but they came, they saw and they did it. With no album to promote as such it gave the band an opportunity to span their catalogue. Their harmonies are exquisite and it was great to see them in this tiny venue up close. Fully reviewed here on this great night.
2018, Israel Nash, Scala, London
Another great night with the talented Israel Nash. Reviewed it here at the time
2016, Teenage Fanclub, Electric Ballroom, London
Easy reviews these. Its Teenage Fanclub, it’s the Electric Ballroom what could go wrong? Nothing does and rack it up as another great show from the Fannies reviewed here at the time.
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.
