The exciting debut post

Hello there.

So I have decided that I will start a blog for my various gig reviews, album reviews, single reviews, hot new artists and ones-to-watch, and of course my lewd gushings on my new favourite band/s/artist/s.

I hope you enjoy it.

I thought I would start by listing all the gigs I have been to, that I can remember. The gig that started my obsession was Space (do you remember them?!) back in 1998 (wow.). Then, excluding the gigs I'd rather keep to myself *ahem* Oh, and I've included my comedy gigs too. Exciting huh?:
