Becoming an annual tradition now to see John and the gang at Merchant’s Hall in the festival. Two sets full of Bowie goodness again from the best Bowie tribute band. Brilliant as usual and great for Jan to join us.

I saw Nick last at the Jazz Bar 4 festivals ago and always intended to catch his great guitaring and performing again. This time his show was all about the songs of the folk legends, including Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, John Renbourn, Paul Simon and Sandy Denny, who would visit the house of his father, Roy Harper, back in the day on 58 Fordwych Rd, Kilburn. He makes a great job of covering these songs in his own special way, but I must make a point of seeing him again for more of his very original material that I think lets him show his talents better.

My old friend Derek Smith has been playing the blues for ages and I kept meaning to catch up but never did ‘til now. Main St Blues is the name of his band, but they put a special show on for the Edinburgh Festival and this year it was ‘Kings Of The Blues’ showcasing the songs of BB, Freddie and Albert King. I’m no aficionado of blues but I think they were great and the addition of the ladies on sax and trumpet, along with their backing vocals, makes the show even better. Catch them as soon as you can!

Not really listened much to Anna before this, but I thought she sounded interesting and friends recommended her, so worth checking out. But this didn’t do much for me. Impressive singing and guitar playing of course, but that showing off don’t impress me much unless the songs are good to go with it … but I didn’t get anything out of them. In fact I felt it was often pretentious bollocks. Meh!

An important gig for Man Of Moon headlining at the best venue in Glasgow and showcasing their new and amazing projection light show. Also some new songs soon to be on their upcoming album. Music and visuals were brilliant and well received by an enthusiastic crowd. Go see Man Of Moon!

Time to rectify the fact that I had missed seeing Human League all these years! And you forget just how many hits they had and they were all on show tonight.

Blown away by Suede and their magnificent performance of so many of my favourite songs. Brett has lost none of his energy and magnetic stage presence. Luckily, some of the best videos of this gig were taken by the person standing next to me! Definitely one of the best gigs of the year.
