Getting there with my gig history now, every gig I've been to, from '87 up to about now.
It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever post.
Well that's the theory, so 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, + a box of old concert tickets and things from Mum and Dad's loft.
Also got a bundle of gaps regarding festival lineups, 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 and Popex years and that.
Yeah I know it's very nerdy, 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!]...

Hoping it is The Cult, and "The Cult 8424" is the name of the tour, from 1984 - 2024? We have tickets anyway.…

Hoping to go to this one, looks to tie in fairly nicely with being in London._Our evenings usually start at 7pm, when we've got the tables set out upstairs, + the gig itself starts at 7.30pm which a couple of songs from me, MJ Hibbett, just to get things going. We'll then have our first act proper before a short break to fect ecth beer/have a cigarette/go to the loo (delete as inappropriate). At this point (if I remember) that we'll do the whip round, all of which will be handed over to our guests, + then it's time for the final act. The whole thing finishes by 9.30pm, leaving plenty of time to have a bit of a chat, a beer, + easily get last trains home. One day ALL gigs will be this delightful!_…

When I said "not suspecting there will be any more in 2024" I meant "not more in 2024 than there were in 2023", I think there will nearly always be more gigs.

Yep, deliberately unstyled.
