Every gig I’ve been to — reviews, photos and memories from live music over the years
Latest Concerts
The Blockheads – LaBelle Angelle – 28/3/25
One of the unexpected perks of running around the live music scene is that every now and then you make connections that lead to some memorable nights.
Martin Metcalfe and Richard Jobson – Bar Yellow
Having filmed several events for Martin Metcalfe over the years, it has become something of a standing arrangement that if he’s planning something interesting, I’ll usually ask if he would like it documented.
Melin Melyn – The Poetry Club – Glasgow
It doesn’t usually take me very long to decide whether I like a band or not.
Tindersticks – Glasgow Pavilion
Some bands become part of your life so gradually that you hardly notice how long they’ve been there.
Fish – O2 Academy – 10/3/25
Some concerts feel important before they even happen.
Van Morrison – Whitla Hall
There are artists you admire and artists you love.
