The London Gig Guide (Page 20 of 58)

Temperance Movement - 5th February at The Borderline... Favourite band at the moment - Highly recommend seeing them!

Any recommended gigs in London  on Joe's lay day before RAH? (the wife will probably kill me for asking)

Phew, Gig Guide updated again. It's looking quite healthy again after a long period of not a lot going on. March looks particularly busy

Rick, if you've got the constitution for five nights' gigging in a row, I'm impressed.   As Kenny says, I think the Steve Lukather gig looks favourite at the moment and I know of other BonaNuts who intend to be at this gig. You never know who else may turn up too.

Is that a typo caused by 3 nights gigging Rick?

Got my Black Crowes Ticket for the 29th March and a pair of ZZ Top Tickets yesterday! 2013 just keeps getting better and better!

if you're referring to me Kenny, I'm aware of the Black Crowes diversity in setlists, but i'm going to see Joe Bonamassa the following night, obviously so can't attend the second Black Crowes performance unfortunately.

Fair enough, my bad, and whilst you are right, it can be costly and very tiring going to concerts in London. However along with New York, no other city can really compete in sheer breadth and also in it's tendency to be host to more one off shows. In recent years i've got to see Teenage Cancer Trust Shows, Clapton & Beck and The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Shows, all on my doorstep, and all not happening anywhere else in Europe. Plus how many of you guys on the forum have to add travel and hotel costs on top of your Joe Bonamassa 2013 London extravaganza? the money i save there will take me too a few more shows, and i'll be comfortably at home preparing for bed within an hour of the shows finishing. it may be costly and tiring in London, but i wouldn't trade it for anywhere else gigwise.

Although if i'm honest, i get up for work at 4.45am and work outside, so have ended up ill after going to a 2-3+ gigs in quick succession, getting virtually no sleep, and being run down, so it does have it's price. After going to 5 gigs in 9 days at end of November when it was really cold, i come down with pneumonia, which is still lingering. so swings and roundabouts!

You're not wrong there! Living in Aberdeenshire I have to travel to Glasgow & Edinburgh regularly to see decent gigs. Plus adding on jaunts to London now and again I'm scared to count how much money I spend on travel & accomodation for gigs!
