Leaving aside local bands and friends in local bands, this is a list of the bands/artists I remember seeing live.

I’m not a big gig-goer – usually find something to complain about – but you’ll notice that when I really like someone I stay very loyal! The ones in brackets were incidental – seen as support acts, but wouldn’t have bothered in normal circumstances. There are other support acts, of course, that I don’t remember.
