May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I really am not the biggest fan of the live album. Never have been and probably even more so now I actually go to many gigs during the year. Get it wrong and it’s completely devoid of atmosphere and can just sound appalling and probably doesn’t “sell” what is otherwise a truly stellar live act….
My first gig of 2020 may already be the gig of the year! I arrived in the West End around 4.30pm and had a bite to eat at Mario’s Cafe on the Byers Road. After the meal I took a meander down to the Kelvingrove thinking it might be open for the concert goers to…

I really, really wanted to get to this gig, but money was far too tight. It sounded very good. Perhaps if I am very, very lucky, I may get to see him in Glasgow in September. Fingers crossed! (P.S. Good to see someone use the word “myriad” with grammatical precision.)
After Thursday’s affair at The Stranglers gig, I was thankful to know that I’d be seated at the Stewart Copeland gig.
