Latest Concerts
The Flaming Lips – 5/9/19
Two days after Follakzoid I took my son to another gig, this time at the Usher Hall to see The Flaming Lips.
Follakzoid Live – 3/9/19
The main act was from Chile and they are called Follakzoid and played most of the gig in the dark which very much suited their music
Molly Sarle & Amie Huckstep
I was looking for a gig to attend and I saw Molly Sarle was playing in Glasgow. I check her out and liked what I heard. When I also watched Amie’s videos the deal was sealed.
The Waterboys – 7/8/19
I have been a fan of The Waterboys ever since ‘This Is The Sea’ came out many years ago and had seen Mike Scott play a solo gig at The Barrowland but never seen him play there under The Waterboys name which he reinstated as I think it was a more recognisable brand.
Neil Young Tribute Night
I went along to a Neil Young tribute night in Edinburgh to mark Neil’s 50th year in the music industry.
John Anaya Duo
I went back to Edinburgh for a Jazz and Blues Festival night at The Fat Badger.
