First Gig Anniversary!

Posted on April 21, 2016October 2, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on First Gig Anniversary!

  
Happy Anniversary to me…

On this day, one year ago, I was heading off for my first Simple Minds gig :-))

I was in heaven! I’d wanted to catch them in 2014 but came to them just a little too late in the summer to organise going anywhere 🙁 But I made sure I was NOT going to miss out in 2015 – even if it was for one gig only! 

I can’t express the joy I felt being there. It was just…wonderful. I was on a high the rest of the night, the next day and days to come.

The highlight for me was Spirited Away. By far my favourite song on Big Music. It had been taken off the setlist for a number of gigs prior to Cambridge. I wasn’t holding out much hope of hearing it, and then…

I was softly singing along, tears falling slowly down my cheeks. 

It was everything ??
