Gigs that have really impressed me recently......
Black Kids
José Gonzalez
Hot Chip
and the concert that really blew me away was Mika, took my daughter as she wanted to go and it was amazing. Maybe because it was the Carling academy which is a nice small venue, but I loved that gig.
Also saw Joan Armatrading last year and she was just sublime. Probably the best live gig I have been to.
I agree with Duran Duran being terrible. I wanted to go 3 tracks in, but then I only relly liked their 'Liberty' album and they never play any of that.
Jools Holland is always good too, especially when he does his outdoor gigs so you can take a picnic, a few bottles and whatever else tickles your fancy!
