Now where was I....?
Since the forum went up the internet creek, I've been to :
Buxton, to see the Revival tour with Altered Images, The Christians and Midge Ure. Altered Images (Clare Grogan and a session band) were far better than they were back in the day...

Nottingham to see Eilen Jewell

York to see Bananarama (I know, I know...)

..and also the Cactus Blossoms again...

Toronto, where I saw Russell deCarle (Formerly of Prairie Oyster) perform his CD release show at the Dakota Tavern:

The next night I saw Whitney Rose at the Horseshoe Tavern:

The TakeRoot Festival in Holland:

Sadler Vaden of Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit

Margo Price

Chuck Prophet
Then it was Jason Isbell at the Paradiso in Amsterdam:

Later the same night I saw the Cactus Blossoms in the upstairs room at the Paradiso:

Manchester to see Maren Morris:

Stone, Staffs to see my mates Nixon Tate & the Honey Club - and Bob Moston aka Merrym'n:

The Cock Inn, in Leek to see Canadian bluesman JW Jones:

Wolverhampton to see Marilyn Manson:

Dublin, to see both nights of Josh Ritter at Vicar Street:

Finally in 2017, back home to see my friends in Tin Chapel at the Glebe in Stoke:

..and the three-fifths of my own band in their rockabilly incarnation, Hollie Vee and the Hubkaps at Hollie's dad's pub, the Artisan tap in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

I'll deal with the start of 2018 in the next post.
