Your 2012 Concerts

Saw Rammstein at the O2 Arena in February, great gig for lots of different but interrelated reasons.

Will see Marilyn Manson at the Brixton Academy in July. 

Added

Coldplay - Emirates Stadium

Added my 2nd Sharon Van Etten gig of the year @ O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire - Mon 8 Oct

Los Endos, Saturday 11/5/12, Billingshurst, almost forgot we had booked these tickets. Now that would have been dumb.

Sat is the 12th, might want to double check the ticket?

Yes Saturday is the 12th and the concert is Saturday too. 

Thanks Maxi .

Smoke Faries Sept 20th, The Haunt,Brighton

The Ozric Tentacals

I never thought i would see them play indoors.

Then at the same place on the 27th.

They don't know it yet but i will be playing percussion with them.

ARCHIVE - Tuesday 4th December in Heaven (London).

That should be fun to find :-)

We saw Coldplay last night in Nice and it was an excellent concert.

They maybe the band that everyone wants to hate, but they really looked like they were all enjoying themselves, which is - to me - what makes the difference between a good concert and a poor one, almost as much as the degree to which you like the music. And they have got some very good tunes.

The lightshow and projections and all that malkarkey was top-notch, in fact it was pretty much the most colourful concert I have ever been to.

We were very lucky with the weather as we've just had four days of non-stop rain which ended yesterday morning, with a return scheduled for tomorrow and the weekend (which is, on balance not a bad thing as I think it advantages Lewis Hamilton!)

One I never imagined I would go to at  the RAH.

Tori Amos doing a (currently) one off special October 3rdd, c/w orchestra.

Very, very nearly sold out if anyone else is interested - dont leave it until tomorrow!

There was me thinking GoodWood FOS & DCD were my last events for 2012

(Just had to try those gremloids out)

Last night I went to what was described as a "re-envisioning" of Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" in the magical surroundings of the chapel at King's College, London. And very very good it was too.

I attended the Roger Hodgson show last evening; what a nice evening!  He truly appreciated the accolades from the audience, and put on a really enjoyable show.  His band is great, and they did ample justice to Supertramp's music.  They did none of the Rick Davies material (not surprisingly) but, then again, it was a Roger Hodgson show

I heard the Foo Fighters last night in Belfast. Wasn't at the concert but like many in Belfast I heard it . Sounded very good, even better it was free.
