Your next gig

Next up for me is, er, Peter Gabriel, Thursday in Glasgow. That's if it isn't pulled for being only ⅔ full, of course.

If its anything like Birmingham last night you may find there could be a last minute rush on tickets. Middle of last week Bham had a few hundred seats left, at least but last night I spotted only a handful.

Yes, very few empty seats last night. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to Elton John on Saturday (Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!).

Bruce Springsteen, Monza 25th July. On our way to Croatia so silly not to.

Tim Minchin, tonight.

Looking forward to it.

Hope you enjoy it, I've seen him three times.

We will be seeing Devin Townsend & Steve Vai later in the year - Vai is one of hubby's heroes & Townsend is playing a very small venue so we are expecting an acoustic set.

It was great.

Intimate venue (~600 people), just him and a piano, no big production.

He seemed fairly nervous for the first couple of tunes, but then he just performed at his best.

I O Earth in August

Off to A New Day Festival in Kent UK for 3 days . Really looking forward to seeing Slim Chance, Ronnie Lane's old band and System 7. Hillage man. ✌️✌️

Paul McCartney in October. I saw him in 2017 and didn't expect him to return so soon (I have been waiting for Mark Knopfler since 2005 and for PG since 1994). Also Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets next month, Steve Vai & Devin Townsend in November (as mentioned above) and the Bootleg Beatles for the third time (also November).

Paul McCartney in October and the Bootleg Beatles for the third time

All power to you, enjoy... but for me this sequence feels wrong! 😂

Yes, it is! Ironically I'd booked for the Bootleg Beatles months before Macca was announced!

Finally, FINALLY a Genesis tribute band - The Cinema Show, which bills itself as the Australian Genesis show. This just popped up in my Facebook feed. Their previous Sydney show was too far away from me but I can do this one. They claim they do Gabriel & Collins stuff as well.

YES!!!!!! Yes yes yes fucking yes.

Protomartyr are playing near me in June and I got a ticket.

IMHO the best kept secret in American rock music today. Fucking love these guys. The lead singer is an insanely well-read, self-effacing rotund guy who drinks beer on stage and somewhat atonally shouts vicious and often insightful lyrics with an inventive guitarist playing angular riffs and a (to my ears) very good drummer driving the whole thing along, going from menacing atmospheric to loud aggression with moments of delicate beauty sprinkled throughout.

So stoked. It's not for everyone but it's definitely for me!

Lead track on their most recent album, "Make Way"
