Getting there with my gigography now, the list of all the gigs I was at, from 1987 up to about now.
It's a natural step from my Best gigs of all time post.
Well that's the theory, but there's A LOT missing.
I have added details from the big bag of old gig tickets that I gathered while I was in London, and a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum + Dad's loft.
Also got lots of gaps regarding bands seen at festivals, they'll prob'ly stay missing, it's so hard to remember. There's a lot missing where I've lost tickets or never had them, most of the guestlist actions during my NME + Popex years + that.
Yeah I know very geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering this stuff.
Probably I've not started scanning the tickets in yet Of course I have scanned in the tickets now[^But I've lost the bag of tickets before I scanned them all in!]...
