Top 10 gigs of 2019
This year I’ve gone to 33 gigs and a
festival. Compiling this list hasn’t been easy! So many incredible gigs that I
haven’t mentioned, so please go and have a look here.
Putting a festival at number 1 feels like a bit of a cheat but Kendal Calling was a special and magnificently muddy weekend. It's also the first festival I've covered (guestlist and everything). Highlights included Hands Off Gretel (pictured), The Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra and The Manic Street Preachers.

*The Kontiki review is of a different night as I didn't do a full write up for The Triangle gig.
So much fantastic live music this year! Here's some other highlights from 2019 - Acid Mothers Temple , Du Blonde , London Afrobeat Collective, The Wave Pictures, The Bug and Miss Red, Charly Bliss , Babybird, Bilge Pump and The Mountain Goats . Lots more over on my Soundblab page.
