All the gigs of my life: Gig 28 – Curve, Tuesday, November 18, 1997, King’s College
My one and only chance to see the band who introduced me to indie.
Suede at the Hammersmith Apollo, Saturday, 13th of October, 2018
The best Suede gig I’ve ever been to. An exhaustingly uplifting, riotously emotional triumph.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 27 – Super Furry Animals, Thursday, October 30, 1997, Kentish Town Forum
I’d seen them supporting the Manics, and as part of the Reading Festival line-up, but this gently magical night was, finally, my first chance to see the magnificent Super Furry Animals headlining their own show.
Paul Draper at Union Chapel, Tuesday, 2nd of October, 2018
A short but sweet set from Paul Draper in a majestic church setting.
Kylie Minogue at the O2, Thursday, 27th of September, 2018
An incredible night of pop from an icon at the peak of her power. As Kylie herself sang, WOW WOW WOW WOW!
Manic Street Preachers at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Tuesday, 25th of September, 2018
The last Manics gig of 2018, and a night of highs and lows.
Suede at Rough Trade East, Friday, 21st of September, 2018
A hot and sweaty celebration of Suede in the 21st century.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 26 – Robbie Williams, Friday, October 17, 1997, Le Palais
A glorious second night from Robbie at the Palais. And my last Robbie Williams gig for 20 years.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 25 – Robbie Williams, Thursday, October 16, 1997, Le Palais
Robbie Williams live, in a 2500 capacity club, for less than fifteen quid. Truly, 1997 was a different planet.
All the gigs of my life: Gig 24 – Mansun, Tuesday, October 14, 1997, Astoria
“All I can say is just over an hour ago I TOUCHED PAUL DRAPER!!! Whilst being drenched in champagne! He was just a metre away!!! Oh christ indeed.” Buckle up, kids. It’s going to be THAT sort of a gig.
