Latest Concerts
Colin Hay – Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
Like most people, I was well aware of Down Under long before I knew much about Colin Hay.
The Dubliners Encore – Glasgow Pavillion
As soon as I saw there was a tribute show called The Dubliners Encore, the decision was made.
Sparks – Glasgow Concert Hall
When I took Emma to see Sparks on their previous tour, I knew she would enjoy it.
Gillian Welch – Glasgow Concert Hall
When Gillian Welch and David Rawlings announced their tour, I knew immediately that I wanted to be there.
The Lovely Eggs – La Belle Angelle
By the time Emma and I arrived at La Belle Angele, the first support act were already on stage.
Mary Gauthier – Saint Luke’s – Glasgow
I had heard a few Mary Gauthier songs on YouTube over the years and recently bought one of her CDs, so I already knew she was a quality songwriter before heading along to this gig.
