Going to watch my favourite 80's guitarist Nik Kershaw, week after next - really looking forward to it!

What have you got on the horizon? *

(* Assuming there is a horizon)

I'm jealous, that'll be awesome. Where are you seeing him - is it one of the more 80's themed shows, or his more recent stuff? Me and the wife saw him at a tiny pub in Portsmouth just doing an acoustic show, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. To Be Frank is one of my favourite albums ever...such a good songwriter.

Aside from that, off to see Extreme in December with Dan Reed Network supporting. Not sure which I'm more excited about

Extreme will be great! Nik's is an acoustic show, in Union Chapel. I hope he does songs off To be Frank and Radio Musicola as well as Riddle and HR. We're really looking forward to it I must say. I love his acoustic versions, they make you hear the chords in a totally new light. It always seems amazing to me that you can play The Riddle on an acoustic and it's like a fresh new song but still 100% recognisable.

ace, I reckon you'll love it. He did a load of the old stuff when we saw him (I think just after 'You've Got to Laugh' was released) so if it's anything like that it'll be amazing.

The Dowling Poole in a week or so. Could not be more excited.

that'll be awesome too. Haven't they got a new album coming out? I still remember the Honeycrack album being a favourite when it came out. Just got the new CJ Wildheart one, which is also great.

I'm not sure - they released one last year, which is utterly brilliant, and have released some singles since then as well. I just can't wait to see them - I missed them at Ginger Wildheart's Birthday Bash in December. Jon Poole is one of my favourite musicians ever and Willie Dowling is a masterful songwriter.

Other upcoming gigs I haven't booked yet but will be trying to - SikTh and Frost*.

Sigur Ros in December, in Reykjavik. It's going to be AMAZING

You do get about!

I do my best. I have a lot of airmiles...!

Teetonetal · August 2017

I've seen a few bands over the summer, which has been really good. I definitely find going to gigs inspires my own drive to get out there and play. Now my only currently booked ticket is to see Steven Wilson in Feb 2018
