A bit after the event(s) but here is a round up of some the gigs that I have been to this year
Buzzcocks - Manchester Academy 1
Poor sound and souless venue. Elderly pop punks played all the hits and highlights from there more recent material. All seemed a bit pointless really.
Ron Sexsmith - Salford Lowry
Great gig by much lauded Canandian songsmith. The gig may have tried the patience of less staunch fans at almost two and a half hours long.
Little Barrie - Manchester Roundhouse
The future of rock'n'roll (or so their warm up guy seemed to think). Balls to the wall rock in a Faces/Mod/Funk melting pot ... Somehow it works.
Richard Hawley - Salford Lowry
The Silver Jews - Academy 3
A Silver Mt. Zion - The Mint Lounge
Richard Thompson - Bridgewater Hall
