Interesting delve back in time again last night. I went to two separate gigs, albeit in the same building. First up was Midge Ure doing a solo acoustic set and regaling us with stories from his experiences such as when they had to wake Boy George up in New York on the day they recorded Band Aid...

I spent an enjoyable evening last night with China Crisis on their 40th anniversary tour. I was blown away by how great they are at entertaining a crowd between songs. Simple, self-deprecating humour mostly. A really, really fun evening.

Saw Del Amitri last night in a bar in Toronto with about 250 others. They can still play.

The Struts tonight. Quite excited by this.

An interesting couple of months coming up. Television, the B-52s and OMD, The Who, and The Struts. Plus Prof Brian Cox doing his thing.

That would be a long way for me

Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto May 6th 9pm. It's a launch party for Canadian Music Week. Seems a bit odd, tbh.

Just got a ticket for Television in May. Quite keen on this.

R. Kelly going on a tour of courthouses and jails.

Can't wait for this tomorrow night. Not a huge Sting fan (at all) but his reggae/Caribbean album with Shaggy is wonderful. In a small standing-only club, too. And I'm kinda hoping they combine to do Regatta De Blanc, always my favourite Police track after Can't Stand Losing You and Roxanne.

Steve Earle and the Dukes tomorrow evening. Copperhead Road 30th anniversary tour. Feeling very old, especially as I first saw Super Steve around the Guitar Town years.

Midge Ure last night in T.O. Some Ultravox, some solo and Visage's Fade To Grey, which he wrote, of course. Hymn Vienna All Stood Still Dancing With Tears In My Eyes If I Was Fade To Grey I Remember (Death In The Afternoon) New Europeans And since Midge Ure was in Thin Lizzy, Midge and Paul...

After a couple of intimate gigs with the Sherlocks this year, I'm now going mostly retro for the summer: Steve Earle and the Dukes - Copperhead Road 30th anniversary tour. (30 years!!!) Midge Ure and Paul Young doubleheader Owl City Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker Sting and Shaggy Bit of a...

Crummy phone audio...

Spent an evening with The Sherlocks this week. They were excellent. Made me feel very old indeed.

I went all cultured this week and attended the opening night of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. It featured the world premiere of a suite based on the music for the film The Life of Pi, and they had flown Bombay Jayashri in from India to sing this little beauty Next up, the Sherlocks.

Royal Blood tomorrow night. :)

The City Harmonic for me tonight.
