Getting there with my gigography now, the list of every gig I remember going to, from 1987 up to about now.
It's a natural step from my Best Gigs Ever post.
Well that's the theory, so there's A LOT missing.
I have chucked in details from the big bag of old gig tickets that I gathered while I was in London, + a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum and Dad's loft.
Also got lots of gaps regarding festival lineups, they'll prob'ly stay missing, it's so hard to remember. There's a stack missing where I've lost tickets or never had them, most of the guestlist actions during my NME and Popex years and that.
Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
At least I've not started scanning the tickets in yet Of course I have scanned the tickets now[^But I've lost the bag of tickets before I scanned them all in!]...
1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023
I was definitely at this gig, so I was definitely at that David Devant gig too, perhaps one of the dates is wrong, or maybe the times worked out... The Gorillaz show was a late night thing at young people's disco nightclub Fabric, in Farringdon I think.Gorillaz played behind a screen, think this was their first live foray.…

Went with an old workmate, got drunk before the gig + I think I went home as soon as the band came on.

Reni out of the Stone Roses + his band... was looking forward to this a lot, so it was absolutely shocking.…
Airport Girl + more. Don't really remember this one so I seemed to say I was going on popex!…
nothing to do with the game, or the ex 3 Colours Red band of this name, was some popexers, at an event called Peep Show. No not that Peep Show either.…
