Barfly , 49 Chalk Farm Road, London, NW1 8AN
My first time of seeing The Darkness at the Barfly, though not my first time ever of seeing them.
I went to this one, more from this year in my gig history for 2001. I saw Darkness probably 36 times; Kings Cross Water Rats (2001), Barfly ('01), Barfly ('01), Kings Cross Water Rats (2001), Barfly (2001), Barfly (2001), The Verge (2001), Camden Underworld ('01), The Cut @ Ocean ('01), Notting Hill Arts Club ('01), Kings Cross Water Rats ('01), Barfly (2001), Barfly (2002), Ocean ('02), Bull and Gate (2002), Metro ('02), Kings Cross Water Rats ('02), Ocean ('02), Camden Underworld (2002), Notting Hill Arts Club (2002), Metro ('02), Kings Cross Water Rats ('02), The Garage ('02), The Libertines @ Islington Academy ('02), Def Leppard @ Brixton Academy ('03), 93 Feet East (2003), Astoria (2003), Glastonbury ('03), HMV ('03), Darkness album launch @ The Cross ('03), Hammersmith Odeon ('03), The Darkness homecoming gig @ Astoria (2003), Leas Cliff Hall ('04), The Darkness Passport gig @ Barfly (2004), Leas Cliff Hall (2013), + Portsmouth Guildhall (2025). Part of a list of every gig I went to from 1987 to 2024. A natural step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
