Danish alternative rock band, Mew, live at The Ritz in Manchester. This is the second gig this year where I’ve been stopped from taking photos. They probably would have taken the camera at the door (like they did at The Leadmill) when the bouncer asked to look in my bag…and then asked if my camera had interchangeable lenses. Of course I said no, even though I had two lenses in the bag he looked in. With Gerald Garratty and Phil Otter
Nordic Giants live at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Went with Gerald Garratty. Support was Athousandfurs
Band of Hope Union supported by Jakob at Belgrave Music Hall, Leeds with Gerald Garratty.
Saw Wolf Alice at the Leadmill with Gerald Garraty. They were supported by the Magic Gang and Crows. Wonderful gig and great atmosphere. There were a few of us oldies but most of the audience weren’t old enough to buy a beer! Much bouncing around from a very enthusiastic crowd.
The first time I was asked to hand my camera in. Loads of people with compacts and phones were allowed to take photos, but I wasnt…sulk! Not happy with the Leadmill for that.
Saw Placebo at the 02 Academy in Sheffield, supported by The Mirror Trap.
.The legend Steve Hillage with Miquette Giraudy play as System 7 at Holmfirth Picturedrome supporting The Orb. Two very dance orientated sets lasting three hours.
