^ Envy the Frank dedication!

Got an email this morning saying that I could purchase on the waitlist for the "sold out" 3000th show.. already bought for the Academy and in London in mid-March so couldn't warrant another trip.

Saw him 3 times in 1 day this year can probably leave it there.

I've only got 8 Frank Turner gigs booked for next year, need to work on that.

"only" 😁

Would love to go to Edinburgh...

Rhiannon Giddens / Liam Ó'Maonlaí / Dirk Powell / Thomas Gabriel - Folk in Fusion

Got a ticket to an Acoustic live recording for Mundy in The Seanti pub in Kilkenny on the 24th Jan

Celtic tiger times galore, should be a good night

Quiet until March (very glad about that as was manic as the end of 24) but then

The Reytons

Nieve Ella

Chris De Burgh

The Lathums

Inhaler

Olivia Rodrigo

Weezer

Fontaines

Oasis

The Murder Capital

Wunderhorse

Will almost definitely end up going to Bryan Adams and potentially Alanis Morissette if things fall right.

My first event of the year last night. An intimate event with Stuart Murdoch in Books Upstairs, reading from his novel, an interview with Lauren Murphy, a brief audience Q&A and two Belle and Sebastian songs to conclude. Thoroughly enjoyable. Like a gathering in someone's living room.

Very much enjoyed Madeleine Peyroux, she sang as beautifully live as she does on record and seems like a down to earth person. Support act Joy Clark was also very good.

Since the above post I've also gotten a ticket for:

Villagers at Helix Theatre in May (have never been to that venue before).

Jimmy Eat World at Olympia in June, three days after Iggy

Patti Smith at 3Arena in October (saw her at Vicar Street last year and she was sublime, so couldn't spurn the opportunity to see her again)

Also a few sold-out gigs I don't have a ticket for but checking periodically to see if any resales become available; Loreen, Djo and MBV.

It's ridiculous, the more I see him the more times I want to go see him again... Last night was just fantabulous
