    Got Academy tickets this morn. Suspect it could be a good venue for him, better than Whelans last time. A large part of the gig is actually visual and thought the view was a bit restricted at Whelans. The higher stage in the Academy should suit better.

    ....Annnnd....he's back!
    He's playing the Rory Gallagher festival on the 4/6 in Ballyshannon.
    The Blockheads are playing the following night so he might well make a guest appearance with them too.
    Hopefully he'll squeeze in another date in The Academy or Whelans as well.

    Not keen on the idea of Wilko playing as support to anyone but that sounds like quite a curious pairing...

    Ah well, he got a good few years "extra time" as he said himself.

    Glad to have caught him in concert a few times since the original diagnosis.

    RIP
