Five Great Gigs

In no particular order.

1 Staple Singers at the Venue in Victoria - 1982? Fantastic singing from Mavis Staples with Pop plugging away on the guitar
2 Ultravox at the Marquee in 1976. Very unfashionable but a fantastic live show. With John Foxx singing.
3 Early music concert in Coustoges in the Pyrenees 1995. Danielle and I walked down from the high mountians, hot and tired. We got washed up at a strange "hotel", ate a fantastic meal [large and tasty] then found out that there was an early music concert in the tiny church at the top of the village. Fantastic and magical, we never did work out why or who.
4 Haydn - Seven Last Words. 1996. Bantry Bay in western Ireland. We had cycled to Bantry from Dublin. The concert was of Haydn's string quartet intermingled with some Irish poet reading his poems. Couldn't really hear the poems, but it did not matter, it was a fantastic gig, in an old stately home that was being used for the Bantry festival.
5 Tom Robinson Band. 1979. Rock Against Racism rally in Brixton [or Hackney]. The huge march had finished, the sun shone, and the band played brilliantly. The guitarist was on fire and the whole gig was flushed with optimism.
