I've been reviewing gigs on here almost since I first started back in early 2004. I haven't always been very objective, I haven't always scored the gig out of ten, I often don't turn up early enough to see the support, and sometimes I've barely talked about the band at all....but for what it's worth, it's a record of one Nottingham based blogger's gig-going over the last few years.
Make of it what you will.
Plus I am absolutely hopeless at remembering what gigs I've got coming up and when, so a rolling list probably isn't that bad an idea either.......

Lists? It's what blogging's all about, innit? I'll be sticking a link to this on the right-hand margin somewhere and I'll keep it as up to date as I can.
I'm interested, even if nobody else is.
Mark Cavendish: Spoty lifetime award

I'm interested. (And in case you are, I would have liked to see The Young Knives win the Mercury Prize.)
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know how you work, blog, go to this many concerts, get married, and have a life outside of those things all in one year. Whew, I'm exhausted just listing it.
ReplyDeleteOh to be so coherent as to manage to write the list...
ReplyDeletePresumably see ya at the Arcade Fire get together? Spot you amongst the hordes...
