My 2024 Music Trips

Filed under: Holidays,Music — William_T_Goodall @ 16:57

On the 15th February 2024 I took the bus to see Poppy (with Wargasm in support) in Glasgow.

I started with a free dinner and a couple of free beers (because there was a rat under my table which the waitresses had to remove)

Then off to the famous venue (I was here before to see The Pretty Reckless in 2022)

Wargasm in support – I’d just seen them headlining in December!)

Poppy

23rd of April, bus to Glasgow for The Warning

14th June – Fly to London to see Lovebites at New Cross Inn.

1st July 2024 – fly to Stockholm to see Hanabie

Spent a few days in Stockholm sightseeing and eating meatballs.

While I was at the 2024 Worldcon in Glasgow I slipped away to see Crypta playing at The Attic.

October 3rd I took the bus to Glasgow to see In Flames and Arch Enemy.

On 13th November I took the bus to Edinburgh to see Wargasm.

And that was it for musical trips in 2024.

My 2023 Music Trips

Filed under: Holidays,Music — William_T_Goodall @ 20:17

On the 24th February 2023 I took the bus to Edinburgh to see Nova Twins at La Belle Angele.

Got a good view of Georgia South playing bass. I like bass.

Had steak and chips and some beer before the gig to fortify me.

Made the mistake of staying in an EasyHotel. Smallest room I ever had.

I flew to London to see Hanabie for the first time, at The Underworld in Camden on 20th August 2023.

It was very packed and hot and I managed to get a reasonable view of the stage but didn’t take many pictures. I managed to get one of the special wristbands for the meet & greet after the show and got a t-shirt and a cd which the band personally autographed as I shuffled along the meet and greet. Drank beer afterwards.

Matsuri on guitar.

Took the bus to Glasgow on 12th December to see Wargasm

at SWG3. There was bass.

Milkie Way on bass. Little did I know that I’d be seeing Wargasm again rather soon!

Game Of Thrones season 2 DVD box set, the Cogman Game of Thrones coffee-table book, the first three volumes of Buffy series 9 the comic book and the last two Banks books I hadn’t got. And I got a House Stark official GoT T-Shirt. And on top of the pile is a very small 32GB flash drive.

Looks like the car might not be going anywhere for a few days.

But the dogs like bounding around in it.
