Teenage Fanclub – ABC Glasgow 25-11-05
Enjoyed this gig a whole lot more than the last time I saw them live at the Academy. They gave a flawless run through of a good variety of songs from all eras. A highlight for me was that they finally played Born Under A Good Sign live, and it sounded as great as I’d [...]
Sons & Daughters – ABC Glasgow 25-11-2005
Bit of an odd night. For some reason the band didn’t come on until 11.30pm or thereabouts. Obviously by then I’d had a few drinks to pass the time but even that didn’t soften the impact of the appauling sound. Was about to write the gig off after 5 or 6 songs, when suddenly things [...]
Ian Brown
Went to see Ian Brown at the weekend. The less said the better. Gutted.
Elbow – Glasgow Carling Academy 17 November 2005
Fcking extraordinary!
An Evening with Elbow
Going to see Elbow tonight. I’ve been a big fan for years, yet have surprisingly never managed to see them live. Naturally I’m looking forward to this a lot and it should be a good one.
U2 Hampden Park Glasgow

Sons & Daughters QMU Glasgow
Must try harder. Seen them before and I’ll see them again but last night just wasn’t happening. Poor sound, malfunctioning mandolins (!!) and a lacklustre vocal performance from the bloke singer. Also found the burd singer (should really find out their names I guess) starting to get a bit annoying with her SHOUTING instead of [...]
Teenage Fanclub – Glasgow Carling Academy
Good gig overall. Enjoyed the new stuff better live than the blandness of the recorded versions as it was a bit more raw and had a spark of life about it. There is no denying it now though that you’re watching a bunch of middle aged men in jumpers struting their stuff – not very [...]
Teenage Fanclub Gig
TFC gig tomorrow night which I’m looking forward to – even though the album’s still not doing it for me. Not as bad as I initially thought but its still washing over me. You stick it on and before you realise its over without you even registering it! Maybe I’m just going senile.
