Gigs

Last Modified On 30/01/2007

I have been keeping this list of gigs I have attended and often written reviews for friends. It might interest someone so I have decided to put it online. I have tried to go to a lot of gigs in recent times as that is the only enjoyment worth aggravating my ME for but I am afraid it still affects the reviews.

Gigs from late 96 - 97
Gigs in 98
Gigs in 99
