Frank Turner @ Oxford Town Hall, 30/09/2014

This was the second gig I managed to get to during Frank Turner’s small venues tour. There was more listening to new songs being tested live and it was magical. To have an artist try out songs live before putting them on an album is something that just does not happen anymore. Sometimes knowing how…

Frank Turner @ Cambridge Corn Exchange, 16/09/2014

I love hearing new songs live. Because as much as I enjoy singing my little heart out to songs I know and love, new songs have this spirit of live music experienced for the first time. This gets even more special when the new songs aren’t even released yet. It gives them special status and…

Frank Turner & Billy Bragg Busking @ Granary Square, 17/12/2013

This was my favourite gig ever, it’s going to be pretty hard to beat. It was a last minute tweet I happened to catch on the 17th December so I headed down to King’s Cross not entirely sure what to expect other than the info that Frank Turner would be busking for Shelter with Billy Bragg.…

Bruce Springsteen @ Wembley Stadium, 15/06/2013

When I say I could write pages and pages on this, then believe me. I actually will be writing about 100 pages on this gig. It’s the topic of my master’s thesis and if you want to read the finished thesis, drop me a line, happy to share.* I will try and be as short…

Bruce Springsteen @ Red Bull Arena Leipzig, 07/07/2013

Have you ever been to a gig where, the minute the band comes on stage, you know it’s going to be epic? Yes, this could have been one of those. I had just seen Bruce play Wembley Stadium and it was amazing, but he didn’t seem too much on form. I made my parents wait…

Robbie Williams @ Wembley Stadium, 02/07/2013

I genuinely don’t have too much to say about this gig. It was as expected – not horribly bad, but not mind-blowingly good either. Part of my bucket list was hearing Robbie Williams perform ‘Angels’ live and hear the entire stadium sing along. I’m not sure £80 was worth that. It was a fun gig,…

Bruce Springsteen @ Frankfurt Commerzbank Arena, 25/05/2012

This was my first Springsteen gig. My parents have been fans for a very long time but he has just never toured at a time where we could go together. We drove 4 hours down to Frankfurt in the middle of summer and stood in front of the gates for another 3 hours in 32…

NKOTBSB @ Arena Leipzig, 06/06/2012

Okay okay, it doesn’t fit the usual pattern, but hey I was a teenage girl once and boy was I into the Backstreet Boys. So when they came into town with The New Kids On The Block I could not say no. I knew every word of every song on every album, yes. My walls…
