Getting there with my gigography now, the list of all the gigs 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.
Probably 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!]...

Amazing lineup of comedy! Stewart Lee, Harry Hill, Henning Wehn, Let Luce, Spencer Jones and hosted by Bob Slayer.I wrote it up here at the time._The HoHo theatre takes place in an abandoned building that we have blagged for the month of December. It goes three floors down + is a warren of rooms that spreads all over the place. It’s incredible to think that this subterranean maze is one of many that must exist all over London..._…
