Mogden
I like tea
Yungblud (Brum)
Henry Rollins - stories rather than music (Nottingham)
Steel Beans (Nottingham)
Various at mate's festival (Derbyshire)
Also the Tailenders podcast tour in Nottingham which included a small amount of music.
It's not been the easiest year to do gig going for me. Hopefully I'll redress the balance next year.

Nina Nastasia (EartH)
Come (Cafe Oto)
Reverend Horton Heat (New Cross Inn)
Stewart Copeland (can't remember where this was

Not very many at all this year, but all four were absolutely brilliant. Particularly the first two, very emotional.

Mogwai (Usher Hall) I think this was actually between Christmas and New Year last year but I'm counting it
Peter Hook doing Joy Division (Corn Exchange O2)
Young Fathers (Usher Hall)
Slackhead Incident (King Tut's, this is significant because it was my daughter on stage at King Tut's! Which felt like quite a big deal)
I think that might be it this year.

Lizzo (Utilita, Birmingham)
Suede (St David's Hall, Cardiff, given they've discovered the roof is full of raac and I can't see the council being up to pay for the repairs might be the last gig I see in that wonderful building)
Beyonce (Principality Stadium, Cardiff)
Various people @ Tafwyl (free Welsh language music festival in Bute Park, Cardiff)
Chemical Brothers/2ManyDJs/Hot Chip (Alexandra Head @ Cardiff Bay) Gig of the year, great music, amazing weather, right down by the sea
Annie Mac (Depot, Cardiff)
Would have gone to a few smaller gigs, particularly pissed off to have missed Richard Dawson at The Gate but seemed to be a year where lots of stuff I wanted to see clashed with real life 100% must-attend family/work engagements.

Been a busy year, not listing out absolutely everything but ones that stand out are Cool Greenhouse, Black Flag with Total Chaos, Early Mornings, Ex-Void, No Age, Napalm Death with Dropdead and Siberian Meat Grinder, Fucked Up, Kneecap, The Beths, Audiobooks, Le Tigre, Xiu Xiu, Ribbon Stage, The Oppressed (with a load of less memorable oi bands), Jeanines, DRI, Eyehategod, Chat Pile, Full of Hell, Cloud Rat, Restarts with Disassociate, Aguaviva with Clear Channel, Lande Hekt, Los Fastidios, Protomartyr, Allo Darlin', Home Front, Madball, OFF!, and Porridge Radio. Plus a few fests - Sounds From the Other City, Supersonic, Built to Blast and made it to a little bit of Fat Out Fest too.

That’s the fewest I’ve gone to for longer than I can remember but hey, I’m getting old. I’d have seen a few more at Rally festival which I had a ticket for but it pissed down all day and I couldn’t be bothered to go.
Btw l didn’t go over specially to Belgium to see Depeche Mode (I’m not that into them) but I was over there anyway so I got a ticket and went.

After how much I'd ended up enjoying their album, I had been slightly regretting that I missed Wednesday when they came here, but just checked the dates and realised that the night they played was the same night as Le Tigre, so that choice was only ever going to go one way.
Sure I must've mentioned this before, but that Leeds grind fest having an afterparty with Spongebob Squarewave and Vincent Van Sloth was a pretty special moment.
Silas Loom
Advanced. Forthright. Signifficant.
I haven’t been to a gig since 2020, but it’s nice to know that they still exist. From the list above, I would be happy to filch the memories of Pulp, Pixies and Mogwai. Although maybe if it was possible to abstract experiences from someone else’s mind, then their tastes would transfer as well, even rendering Iona and Hitmouse’s terrifying selections as fun nights out.

Bugger, wish I'd known this one was on, would've been good seeing them again. Ah well, was a busy year anyway. Did you say you'd seen Brorblab at Fuel as well? And is that actually two separate Dawn Ray'd gigs at TWH? Fair enough for making the most of them while you can if so.
