The worst £3 (plus postage) I’ve spent so far this year

Physical tickets are, of course, a dying medium. Across the 20 years of my gigography there are probably two gigs where I didn’t have ticket for every one that I did. When it came to booking events after starting to write up my memories from past shows, I found myself even more keen to getContinueContinue reading “The worst £3 (plus postage) I’ve spent so far this year”

Tuesday 12th February 2019 – CHVRCHES w/ Let’s Eat Grandma at O2 Academy Bournemouth

It’s crazy that it took 6 years for me to see my favourite band of the 2010’s, and when the opportunity finally worked out, it was on my own doorstep.

Friday 1st February 2019 – Frank Turner w / Jimmy Eat World and Grace Petrie at Bournemouth International Centre

It’s always a novelty whenContinueContinue reading “Friday 1st February 2019 – Frank Turner w / Jimmy Eat World and Grace Petrie at Bournemouth International Centre”
