Gary Numan - Brighton Centre, Brighton | |||
01 May 2022 | |||
|
|||
Gary Numan
is back at the bigger Brighton Centre as opposed to the usual Brighton
Dome, not sure this was an improvement as I quite like the Dome as a
venue. |
|||
|
Set list. 01. Intruder |
||
2021 |
Levellers - O2 Guildhall, Southampton | |||
15 December 2021 | |||
|
|||
Well with
the dreaded plague of “unknown” origin there has been little activity on
the concert front and with another impending lockdown, this might be the
last for a while. |
|||
|
Set list. 01. One Way |
||
2020 |
Midge Ure - Theatre Royal, Brighton | |||
22 February 2020 | |||
|
|||
Midge Ure doing the whole of Vienna and selections of Visage, what more could an 80s fan like me want? The voice may not have quite the power of before but still holds up well and he can still play that guitar. The keyboard player also copied Billy Currie's solo's pretty well. Seating could have been better. A fairly drunken weekend was undertaken which included an argument with a guy sat in front of me because I was apparently talking too much during the support act but these things happen. |

Set list. |

2019 |
OMD - Portsmouth Guildhall | |||
12 November 2019 | |||
|
|||
Been a long
time since I’ve seen OMD, over 30 years since they have played Portsmouth
and they still sound good even if the later stuff has been of less
interest to me. |
|||
|
Set list. |
||
The Cult - Portsmouth Guildhall | |||
29 October 2019 | |||
|
|||
Probably the
most "rock" gig I've ever seen and I was not sure it would be my thing but
what a great time was had by all. |
|||
|
Set list. |
||
Gary Numan - 02 Guildhall, Southampton | |||
5 October 2019 | |||
|
|||
Another trip
to see Gary Numan, how many times now? |
|||
|
Set List
01. My Name Is Ruin |
||
Chvrches - Alexandra Palace, London | |||
7 February 2019 | |||
|
|||
My first sample of Chvrches live and a good experience. Was worried about an overdose of politics but we got none and just a rather chatty and fun Lauren Mayberry in a nice dress. Sound wasn't great with bass that could give you concussion. |
|||
|
Set List
01. Get Out |
||
2018 |

2017 |
Midge Ure - Guildhall, Portsmouth | |||
9 November 2017 | |||
|
|||
After a support act of Altered Images and to a lesser extent The Christians it was down to Midge Ure to headline. This was the first time I had seen Midge Ure as a solo act having seen him many times as part of Ultravox and he did not disappoint going through some of the classic Ultravox songs and from his solo career. The guy can sure play guitar and still has a great vocal range. |
|||
Altered Images - Guildhall, Portsmouth | |||
9 November 2017 | |||
|
|||
Finally seen my teenage fantasy in Clare Grogan, only about 30+ years late!
Wasn't quite as cringe
worthy as I was dreading and was well worth the money. |
|||
