Confidence Man, Forwards Festival, Bristol

First gig of the year. A Sunday matinee! Lambrini Girls, Rough Trade, Bristol. Great energy & tunes.

Wunderhorse, supporting Sam Fender. Sam said: ‘the best fkg band around today’. Fontaines might want a word but they were pretty great regardless. And Midas is a quality album.

The Damned, Bristol Beacon, 12.12.24. True punk pioneers & still sounding great. Not having that The Captain is apparently 70. Extra points for being a Palace fan.

Sam Fender, Coop Live Manchester, tonight. Fantastic atmosphere. So many people losing their shit. Pretty euphoric stuff. #gigs #musicsky #manchester

I’m not sure 786 minutes of listening to the Cure is enough for anyone. Must do better in 2025! Nice to see Bill Ryder-Jones making an appearance mind. #blueskymusic #thecure

A rubbish day at work always calls for Bowie. My favourite Bowie album changes all the time but this is in the top 2! The title track is soooo immense.

Fontaines DC, Cardiff. The best band, at the peak of their powers.

Glastonbury tickets bagged this morning. One of the benefits of being a local - a second chance, a week after the main sale. Can't wait for the first line up announcement.

Breathless first half at the Villa. More of the same please Palace.

Really loving the Deadletter album, Hysterical Strength. Also amazing live if you get the chance. Proper band and Zac a great frontman.
