I think I'm at about 60 so far, and with ones planned go over 100. Sad to say I have a spreadsheet (the logic being I can check that I don't double book gigs for the same night). Should really do a blog of them, but it's a bit too much effort.

I saw James at the Royal Court in Liverpool the day I completed on my flat in Essex. No excuses for poor attendance unless you're on the other side of the world.

Adam Ant was interesting. Most of the hits, he's bonkers, you'd like the stripping backing singers.
Duran Duran were brilliant. I've always been a fan. The new album is better than the last few and there's all the old hits too.
I go and see Doyle with martin in london when I can, but as they always seem to be last minute, I usually have other plans already

SEPTEMBER 24 DAVID FORD BURY THE MET 88 Oooh. I thought they were all badly timed for the tour, but that one just might be possible.
