Latest Concerts
The Pogues – Glasgow Barrowland
Of course, The Pogues can never truly be The Pogues without Shane MacGowan.
Van Morrison – The Waterfront Hall
Most people would probably consider seeing Van Morrison four times in a year sufficient.
Mercury Rev – La Belle Angelle
The first time I saw Mercury Rev was at the Barrowland in 2001.
Primal Scream – Usher Hall
I’ve seen Primal Scream quite a few times over the years.
bdrmm – Classic Grand – 9/3/25
By this point, seeing bdrmm had become something of a tradition.
After The Last Waltz – KTWWH
I have loved the music of The Band for as long as I can remember.
