DomDom1984 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Didn't do much, but Enter Shikari at the QMU in Glasgow would be around the top no matter how many I went to I imagine. Funeral for a Friend at Slam Dunk was just glorious as well. I only did Ash and Fozzy outside of that. Ash were really good and Fozzy were fine.

JHad Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 I was fortunate enough to squeeze a lot of gigs and festivals into the second half of the year. It actually turned out to be my most prolific year to date in terms of number of different acts. Sorry for the long post. 10 was too hard to pick, then I got carried away reminiscing!

mcshed Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 I really didn't go to enough gigs to make a Top 5 and if I was trying for a Top 10 then I'm sure kids stuff like Funbox would make the list but my gig of the year out of the handful I did make it to was undoubtedly Marlowe @ The Mash House. A fantastic show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it being the first major festival since 2019, the buzz in the crowd was off the scale. Pure euphoria for 100 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Mr Tumble at Butlin’s Just For Tots week at Bognor Regis. That is literally the only live performance I’ve seen this year. I’ve had gigs cancelled and have had to cancel so many in the last 12 months for a variety of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
