Here is the complete list of all the gigs I’ve ever been to. Numbers 0 to 148 are the gigs I had been to at the time of starting this blog, and constitute the “All The Gigs Of My Life” series which is now complete! The rest are reviews of gigs I’ve been to over the life of this blog, and will be updated as and when I go out gigging. Follow me on Twitter to get notifications of any new posts!

Due to Adverse Life Events I am somewhat behind on my gig reviews, but am working frantically on catching up and all being well, my gigging adventures will resume in early summer 2023 🙂

My Gig Zero is Tina Turner, The Republic, Singapore, February 1988 – the gig I went to before I became a rabid music obsessive and really appreciated what gigs could be.
