I wasn’t a fan of Suede when they were around the first time but after they reformed I began to appreciate them more. I got their album, ‘Head’ recently and so when a single ticket came up on Twickets I took myself along to the Usher Hall for a night of Suedeworld,
After I got my Stalls ticket for Lucinda Williams in Glasgow and bought our flights to Belfast for Emma and I to see her there, Emma managed to get a ticket for Glasgow in the Balcony.
I have been a fan of Lucinda Williams ever since I got her album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, when it came out in 1998. For some reason I didn’t think she toured outside of America.
To my surprise I got accepted to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival this year and so I thought I’d try again with an entry to the Spirit of Billy Connolly Award.
I knew Emma would enjoy seeing Emmylou Harris but she was a little shocked to get a ticket as a Christmas present. I would have took her anyway so it killed two birds with one stone. The support was Jim Lauderdale.
I got the single, ‘Don’t Go’ by Hothouse Flowers when it came out and I can remember one afternoon I played it sixteen times in a row. I got their first album too and loved it.
