I am off to see Paul Heaton on Friday night in Belfast, wouldn’t be my first choice but my wife and my sister want to go and need a driver. Balance has been redressed as Mrs C and myself have tickets to see Counting Crows playing in Dublin in October.

I shook a bad garage punk habit by moving to the suburbs a while back so I don't see a lot of shows these days. My last show was either the Angel Martins at Somerville Porchfest or a makeshift teenage jazz trio (trombone, keys, drums!) playing on the town common during the farmer's market. Both shows were underappreciated and totally ace.

Looking forward to seeing a Ghost headlining gig. Saw them open for Iron Maiden in 2017 and was blown away by them.

Have fun! My wife's gaga for Ghost. She'll be catching the current tour in Boston and NYC.

Counting Crows were one of the worst bands I've ever seen live, hopefully it's better for you

I am a massive fan of Counting Crows but, like yourself, the worst gig I was ever at was a few years ago when they done a European tour but only playing in venues of less than 3,000. They played in the Ulster Hall in Belfast, I thought it would be great to see them in such a small venue but every person there knew all the words to all the songs, it was like a massive karaoke party. Adam Duritz done his best to get them to stop but they didn’t. Hopefully in Dublin it will be better. We are staying in a hotel very close to the venue so we will have dinner and a few drinks on our walk to the show. We will ensure we enjoy.

Was at this too. Enjoyed every second of it. Such a clever lyricist.

David Gray at the Liverpool Philharmonic tonight, he has been playing loads off White Ladder on this tour so if that continues I will be happy as his new stuff isn't the best.
