Gigging Forever: February 2014
http://giggingforever.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 February 2014. 2013: The Year in "Normal" Music - Top 20 Albums (20-11). Following on from "the best tracks from 2013" that weren't prog and weren't on one of my favourite albums of 2013 because I didn't like all the tracks or the album doesn't exist yet or something like that, yeah. Top five reasons why it is still totally ok to do 'End of Year' lists in the middle of February:. 1 'Best of ' lists are still the best thing in the world, even when they're late. I can never decide whether Boards ...

Gigging Forever: Gigging Forever Awards 2014: Part 6 (The 'Funny Music' edition)
http://giggingforever.blogspot.com/2015/02/gigging-forever-awards-2014-part-6.html
Wednesday, 11 February 2015. Gigging Forever Awards 2014: Part 6 (The Funny Music edition). Okay, this is really it, I promise. I've held you captive here so long at this fictional awards ceremony that Earl's Court itself has become fictional (Yes, it saw its last ever gig this year and the demolition men moved in shortly after.) Go, read, and then fly and be free, my pretties. But don't forget to check out all the previous parts before you go.). Part 3 (The moany edition). Oh, alright then. For that rea...

Gigging Forever: July 2014
http://giggingforever.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 2 July 2014. 7th June 2014: Gary Chandler and Martin Orford - Paul's House, Eastleigh. But, but. When I started this thing up 3 years ago, and people started to read it and not want to jab their eyes out with a rusty set of compasses afterwards, people would ask me whether I thought I could really go somewhere with it (and they didn't just mean to Lydney). And I would say:. My name IS down, and I AM coming in! Gary sings with a powerful rock voice and plays both acoustic and electric guitars (...

When we saw them live, but it wouldn't be true. And the winner is: Um. Yes, I stood this close to them. I like to think we had a little "moment". No, I don't a...

Gigging Forever: July 2013

Thursday, 18 July 2013. 17th July 2013: Goldfrapp and the RCNM String Orchestra, Albert Hall, Manchester. I really am the best boss in the world. A poor member of my virtual team, based in Manchester, on maternity leave and unable to get down to London needs to have her laptop collected, so here I come all the way up on the train at great personal inconvenience to pick it up from her. Well, it'd be rude not to. See where someone has scribbled out the band name? What a lovely head. Ha! Lucikly, and amazin...

Gigging Forever: March 2014
http://giggingforever.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 14 March 2014. Album Review - Simon Godfrey: Motherland. Songs Lovely, lovely songs. Do you like songs? Of course you do, what a silly question. But hold on, maybe it isn't - do you insist that every song has to contain a guitar / keyboard / theremin solo for it to be any good? Do you think ' Wind and Wuthering. Is the beginning of the end of Genesis because it has 'Your Own Special Way' on it? Oh, ok, you don't. Good, come on in then, and settle down for something rather marvellous. It's this la...

Thursday, 29 January 2015. Gigging Forever Awards 2014: Part Five. Oh good, you're back. I thought you might have nipped off in the back of that limo with All Saints and Robbie Williams. The ‘Less Is More’ Award. This year's outstanding achievement award for "Less is More"ing goes to Röyksopp. Evidently inspired by me moaning at them last year to ruddy well get on with their new album, they went and gave us two – or one and an EP, at least. Still, with the uplifting ‘ Running to the Sea. Little Dragon: N...

Saturday, 7 September 2013. 15th August 2013 - Dream Theater Dream Theater Album playback: Angel Studios, London. Is there anything worse than trying to write something under duress, pressure, obligation or blunt force trauma to the head? Some of the above are responsible for this post, as "someone" has been nibbling away at me for the last few weeks like a belligerent rabbit at a particularly offensive carrot. When's the review coming out? What do you mean you're not doing one. Do you like Dream Theater?
