Gig dry spell


After a blissful summer of musical pleasure, I once again find myself in a gig dry spell and I'm absolutely gagging for it!

I keep pawing my way through ents24.com, thecockpit.co.uk, blackpoollive.co.uk, men-arena.com, mct-online.co.uk, and hunt through Uncut and Hammer mags, and sometimes Rock Sound when I get it, when I go away I look for shows in the area, and when I remember to do so I check out the Get It Loud In Libraries and browse through Myspace Bands.

So many singers, bands, musicians that I really wanna see...so many that I've seen and want to see again!

I almost had the chance to see Michael Buble next May, but that doesn't look likely. I think I'm still going to Seth Lakeman next month too but haven't heard much since.

My last taste of music was the...interesting...weekend of August Bank Holiday Weekend, when Lauren and I went to Solfest in the middle of nowhere in a field in Cumbria. I hope to see the Telegraphs and the Travelling Band some time again soon.

For now though, I'll just plug in my mp3 player and listen to the random bunch of tunes on there. Starting off with Mark Brown and Sarah Cracknell's 'The Journey Continues' - part of this beautiful tune is highly recognisable due to part of it being used in the Lloyd's TSB adverts. A haunting, yet beautiful tune that just makes me want to hit the repeat button.

Toodles for now xx
