Gig #133 Tonight's band, Dateline, came all the way from New Zealand to Santiago in Leeds. I went because of the support band, goo, but Dateline were great too
Gig #132 North East Calling today. Fabulous day full of great bands and a great venue. All the bands were great but highlight of the day were Dirt Box Disco
Gig #131 Riskee and the Ridicule again tonight. This time a bit closer to home at Brudenell Social Club. Brilliant as always

Gig #127 Adult DVD album launch gig at Parish tonight (and another rare Monday night gig)
Gig #126 An early evening gig today at the Boulevard in Wigan for Gimp Fist
Gig #125 The Empty Page tonight in another new venue for me (Boom in Leeds)
Gig #124 The Lovely Eggs tonight. Their only gig of 2026 in the unusual venue of St Marys Parish Church, Stockport
Gig #123 Fluffy Machines all the way from Switzerland at the Parish tonight. Great fun, only downside was support band goo had to cancel due to illness.
Gig #122 A rare Monday night gig, Canadian surf rock from The Surfrajettes at Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds
Gig #121 Another new venue for me this afternoon (Bodega in Nottingham) for Riskee and the Ridicule (again). Really liked the venue so hopefully will be back some time soon.
Gig #120 Riskee and the Ridicule tonight at the Corporation in Sheffield. A venue I have been to a few times over the years, but not in this particular upstairs room. With stillma few months to go they are my most seen band this year
Gig #119 The Molotovs tonight at Leeds Met (upgraded from the Wardrobe)
Gig #118 Brudenell Social Club tonight for Flamin' Groovies (in the Community room)

Gig #116 back at the Parish tonight for the excellent Jeffrey Lewis and the Voltage
Gig #115 last nights gig (a day late) Billy Bibby (formerly of Catfish and the Bottlemen) at the Parish
Gig #113 The Sukis tonight at Amped in Huddersfield (not the best lighting for taking photos!)
Gig #112 Back to the Alma Inn in Bolton tonight for Los Fastidios. The only downside of an otherwise excellent night was the closure of the M62 resulting in a bit of a cross country odyssey to get home (and it's closed weeknights until November so more of the same to come)
Gig #110 Made it to the last 3 bands of an all dayer at the Alma in Bolton. Bands we saw were Anchorsmashed, Rupcha Farms and headlining were the Zipheads. The gig made up for watching Bolton lose earlier in the day
Gig #109 A brilliant show tonight, Turnstile at Halifax Piece Hall,
