I wasn’t quite sure what this WordPress blog would end up being about? It turns out it’s mainly about my music, including my work as a musician, in music production, IT, my bands and which gigs I’ve been to and have upcoming in case I completely forget due to senility! I’ve started to add posts about holidays and my angling exploits too.
I like to include the odd picture I have taken from gigs attended (however rubbish) and though I don’t like videoing myself, if someone has done so I like to add that too … if nothing from the gig, then some video from the same tour or time that is relevant and memorable. Theres’s a long list of gig reviews, back to when I started keeping records in 2006, and a few before that back to my youth, the more memorable ones … that will take me a while to finish updating. I’m sure I’ll think of other things to add in time.
You might notice that I used to give gigs scores out of 11 but stopped that a few years ago. This was a personal ranking simply for for me to remember what I thought in my senile dotage. I’m not a professional music critic so please don’t take them personally! I started scoring normally, out of 10, but then I realised that gave me nowhere to go, like other reviewers. So I got myself a new scoring system, and if I want to go even better than other reviewers … I can go up to 11! See my scoring definitions below. Gig Scoring – 11. Off the scale, reserved for something I can’t even imagine (yet)! 10. Incredible! One of a small number of my best EVER gigs 9. Brilliant, Fantastic, Amazing, Awesome … but not best ever 8. Very Good 7. Pretty good 6. OK – not bad 5. Not quite ok – a bit meh 4. Not impressed 3. Didn’t like it at all 2. Hated it 1. Absolutely terrible, among the few worst ever EVER gigs
