The Jesus and Mary Chain – The Usher Hall

Apr 7, 2024

I managed to get a spot down the front so you can enjoy the full gig with a nice view.

The Hives – Glasgow Barrowland

Apr 1, 2024

The main reason for me going to see The Hives was to see The Bad Nerves again as I loved them so much supporting The Darkness.

Happy Mondays – Barrowland

Mar 14, 2024

I last saw The Happy Mondays at the SECC around 1989 on their Pills, Thrills and Bellyache tour.

Blockheads – La Belle Angelle

Mar 8, 2024

I’m lucky that a friend of the band is a friend of mine and hooked Emma and I up with tickets for the second time to see the amazing Blockheads with Mike Bennett taking the place of Ian Dury.

We first saw bdrmm supporting Ride, then I saw them supporting Mogwai and then I took Emma again to see them at Mono Cafe in Glasgow. This time we took a trip to Dundee to see them as I think they are one of the best bands around.

Slowdive – Glasgow Barrowland

Feb 24, 2024

I took Emma to see Slowdive at the Barrowland, the best place for a gig in the world, in many people’s opinion.
