Again too many, so I'll cherry pick a bit more. The beat, support for the John peal Road show, Aston uni student union bar, and ub40 supporting the pretenders at a nightclub I forget the name of in brum.
But best recent, ever (?) kerry Ellis and Brian may on the born free tour at Tunbridge Wells assembly halls. 4 rows from Brian may - 10ft away. Spine tingling

Best recent classical concert was the 40th anniversary of The Tallis Scholars last year at St Paul's Cathedral.
Sublime on every level, the wonderfully reverberant acoustic showed off the early church music at its very best...

Great lists Martin and Tim. I seem to recall that Tim is an avid live music fan. Never been to classical concert, must get myself to one and experience it first hand. I'll have to start compiling a list Been to some staggeringly good gigs, many years ago Could never see why anyone needed drugs when we had that ! Nice one Mike. Be great to see. I agree about not needing the drugs, still.....
