LIVE GIGS (March - June)

I normally write a few notes or post a video from any live gigs i go to but for whatever reason i seem to have forgotten or put-off doing this for quite some time. He's a re-cap (for my own sake really, i like doing them end of year lists don't i..and i need the info for the 'Best Live Gig' award. Ha! I'm soo cool aren't i!?). Before anyone starts with the "I thought you said you had no money!!" ..a lot of these i got into free (thanks JC!). I'm not gonna go into details, maybe i'll just score them (you gotta have a system!). The scores are based soley on what the gig was like that night and not on how much i like/dislike the band, singer, dj ...oooh, i feel like i'm getting a bit serious here, sorry about that.
