A couple of years ago I realised that I should be taking advantage of living in London, and getting paid enough to be able to afford, to make a point of going to gigs and the theatre. So since then it’s been rare that I haven’t been booked to go and see something at some stage in the next few months.<\/p>\n
So far, booked for this year:<\/p>\n
Hope of the States – Astoria – Feb 15th
\nR.E.M. – Hammersmith Apollo – Feb 19th
\nDonna’s – Astoria – March 9th
\nThe Camden Crawl – various – March 10th
\nThe Mars Volta – Brixton – March 13th
\nMull Historical Society – Shep Bush Empire – March 18th
\nThe Subways – Mean Fiddler – April 6th.
\nBritish Sea Power – Forum – April 13th
\nThe Frames – Shep Bush Empire – April 22nd
\nU2 – Somewhere Glasgow – June 21st
\nU2 – Croke Park – June 24th
\nR.E.M. – Hyde Park – July 9th<\/p>\n
With Download 10- 12 June to be added as soon as tickets go on sale and no doubt Reading to follow. I’m also tempted by Oxegen back in Dublin and the Give it a Name day up in the Ally Pally. Both of those are a wait and see.<\/p>\n
Hoping for shows from Killers and Outkast around Glasto in Brixton or the like and I’ll go along to them<\/p>\n
Theatre wise, I’m off to see Festen<\/i> at the start of March and A Life In The Theatre<\/i> next week. Death of a Salesman<\/i> opens in Hammersmith later in the year and I want to try and catch that too. I have never seen The Mouse Trap<\/i> so I’d like to catch that at some stage but I don’t think it’s going to finish it’s run anytime soon…<\/p>\n
Also, I’m planning on catching Turner Whistler Monet at the Tate sometime in the next couple of weeks. A Saturday or Sunday afternoon in and around the Tate with my camera sounds like lots of fun.<\/p>\n
I really should be doing work but this afternoon it’s just not happening. And yes I have some very eclectic music taste<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
