Latest Concerts
The Divine Comedy – Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
I bought The Divine Comedy’s first album way back in the day and picked up several more over the years, but somehow I never managed to see them live.
Vieux Farka Toure – The Garage
Some gigs are planned months in advance.
Rick Wakeman – Glasgow
I went to see Yes quite a few years ago and it remains one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended.
The Waterboys – Glasgow Barrowland
Emma and I had only just seen The Waterboys a few days earlier at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, courtesy of a last-minute ticket giveaway on Facebook.
The Waterboys – Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
I originally bought tickets to see The Waterboys at the Usher Hall.
bROTHERS iN bAND – Liquid Room
I took my son to see Mark Knopfler on his last tour at the OVO Hydro and, musically speaking, it was a fantastic evening.
