Concerts planned for 2016.

Next week. The axe wielding genius, Michael Schenker.

Hopefully Bonnie Raitt in May. Good call Stevee.

I wanted to see Rainbow in Birmingham (might be the last Rainbow reunion) in June but unfortunately its all sold out..

Tickets are still available at Getmein (a Ticket Master Company). Prices range from £220 to £2,200.

I'm sure you'll be able to pick them up on ebay at a reasonable price, closer to the event.

Does Jeff Wayne's 'War of the Worlds' in the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road count?

So far.  There will be more.

Also ELO in May .

I'd have been going to this as well, had I not bought tickets for Teddy Thompson & Kelly Jones in the Queens Hall, Edinburgh on the same night. Instead, I'll be going to see Brian Wilson at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh the following night.

Should be good, although I wonder just how much Brian can contribute himself, given his age and his well documented drug related health problems. Still, I never got to see the Beach Boys live & this will be the next best thing. I had very low expectations of the Fleetwood Mac concert I went to last year, thinking them to be well past their peak, and it turned out to be absolutely brilliant, so you never know. A little more unlikely this time, I guess.

Just booked tickets for Seth Wakeman at the Ropetackle Shoreham By Sea. April 24th.

10CC at the Villa Marina, Douglas, Isle of Man on 15th April. Should be a good singalong even if there is only one original member in the band!

The Charlatans, same venue as 10CC on 16th April.

Getting bands over here is a pretty rare event, so I have to make the most of the opportunity!
