Counterfeit Sixties
My son is mainly into Heavy Metal but I thought I would try and educate him on Sixties music by taking him along to a Sixties Cover Band night in Falkirk Town Hall which is fairly close to where we live in Bo’ness.
James – 18/3/19
I have taken my son to quite a few gigs since we have returned to Scotland and I asked if he was interested in going to see James at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.
Tangerine Dream
When I saw that the legendary German band Tangerine Dream were playing in Glasgow I checked out some of their recent live gigs on youtube and decided I needed to get tickets, perhaps as an anti-dote to the Heavy Metal gigs I have been going to with my son recently.
Brit Floyd – 15/3/19
After taking my son to see Tangerine Dream the previous night, this time I told him were were going to Glasgow to pick up a poster I wanted to keep as a memento for a gig I performed in at Nice’N’Sleazy which was apparently still up on the wall, at least according to Oliver Pissed, who organised the gig.
John Grant – 1/2/19
I noticed only yesterday that John Grant was due to play in Glasgow and it said on facebook that it was sold out so I went to look for tickets on Gumtree.
Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats
I first heard of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats when Triple G Music productions posted on Facebook that their gig was sold out.
