Jeez too many to list. My first gig was The Housemartins at Brid Spa 1985ish.
Leonard Cohen was awesome live, just an all round beautiful experience, he's up there as being one of my best live experiences. Will Oldham is a bit of a hero of mine so seeing him live and being right near the front was certainly a night to remember. I saw The Band of Holy Joy, late Eighties and they dedicated a song to me (we'd passed a few letters back and forth) "this one is for Susan from Hull who is wearing our t shirt" and I got a hug from Johnny Brown. That was the nearest I ever got to being a groupie. I've seen Wreckless Eric many times and he's just bloody lovely. Jonathan Richman was fab. Most disappointing gig was P J Harvey, not their fault, I'd been to a funeral, drank too much wine and had the most horrific headache so I'd love to get the chance to go see Polly again. Most recent gigs have been Jack White and Angel Olsen, both fabulous. Loads of others but I'd be here all night listing them! |

Too many to list, especially given that I write about and review music.
Last couple I saw were Sleep and Nick Cave, both of whom were amazing. Next up I've got a friend's boyfriend's goth band whose name I don't actually know (it's OK, though, I don't have to write about that one!) and New Model Army, who never disappoint. BEST gig, in all my years of seeing bands, was probably Swans at Koko in 2012. I have never experienced anything that even came close to that intensity, not even with the aid of drugs. I almost understood what a religious experience must feel like, and I was stone-cold sober. |

I've been to see so many singers/bands in my almost 33 years that I would most likely forget someone if I tried to list them all so I will just focus right now on my most favorite experience and that was getting to see my most favorite singer James Otto for the second time on January 31, 2011. What makes it stand out compared to the first time that I saw on June 11, 2008? Just before I left to head for home, one more picture of us together was taken and right after the flash went off, James said "I love you!" to me. You never forget such a moment if you see your most favorite singer and "I love you!" is what they have to say to you before you go.

Inspiral Carpets (my first. I was so uncool I bought balcony seats and had the piss taken out of me for months)
Primal Scream (got invited to their party but it was a dry one. They'd had all the drink and had to apologise for the man lying flat out on the floor.) Nirvana (I was a terrible fangirl, shoving my camera in Kurdt Cobain's face. He should have punched me. He collapsed shortly after iirc.) Blur Garbage (amazing. Shirley Manson is stunning. Stunning.) Take That Radiohead (they refused to play Creep so I refused to stop drinking. In my head it was a formidable protest.) Garth Brooks (took my Dad. Loved it, surprisingly.) Therapy? Teenage Fanclub (despite meeting them a few times it did not result in Brendan, the drummer and object of my teenage (and middleage) desire, proposing marriage as I had anticipated. ![]() Stone Roses (waited a long time. Thought it would never happen. Saw a few tributes and then they reformed! )Metallica (I spent most of this in the foyer with my head in my hands. Stupid beer. Is why kids shouldn't drink.) R.E.M. (now that Michael Stipe is no spring chicken but, boy, can he move. He was all over that stage, like a chimp hopped up on sugar. Suede A lot of my friends were in bands, or friends of a friend in a band so we saw far too many local bands at pubs with sticky carpets on 'Rocks Nights'. Only one I've thought of over the years is a Belfast band, Lazy. I know it's a longshot but if anyone knew what became of them I'd love to hear it. |
