I saw a performance of the Bruce Springsteen song, One Step Up, by Martyn Joseph where he done spoken bit in the middle of it which blew me away. I acquired a few of his CDs and so when his original date got put back a few months, I was able to attend.
Emma discovered Ist Ist on Spotify (whatever that is), and so she treated me to their gig at Oran Mor in Glasgow. The support act, Yaang, were a little bit unusual, their frontman was anyway.
Although I am not a fan of the Hydro, I will go when the occasion calls for it, eg Mark Knopfler, The National, The Doobie Brothers and Slayer. So, My Bloody Valentine, was another one to add to the list.
We first saw Bad Nerves supporting The Darkness at Glasgow Barrowland and was immediately blown away by them so I got tickets to see Hives, there a short while later, only to see Bad Nerves support them. Then we went to KTWWH to see their first headline tour. Next up was The Art School.
A friend who many years ago used to play a Colin Hay album regularly when we were smoking at his house, that got me into his music.
As soon as I saw there was a tribute concert called The Dubliners Encore to the fantastic Irish group, The Dubliners, it was a no brainer to get a ticket as I think they are one of the greatest bands of the last century, not least for their don’t give a fuck attitude but also their incredible soul.
