Gigs of the year 2011

[Will]

As I've now been to my final gig of the year (Space at the Academy last night - 6/10), I'd like to present my Top 5 gigs of the year - would be interested to read others (even Kahnee's...)

 

1. Paul McCartney (Echo Arena) - it's got to be a good year if Macca is on the list but not #1. The man still has it in spades at 69

2. Wooden Shjips (Kazimier) - a simply stunning gig. Didn't know them well when I went but they blew my proverbial socks off

3. The Fall (Stanley Theatre) - at their very finest. Shame the new album has underwhelmed after that

4. Billy Bragg (New Picket) - great to see him again. Best singalong gig of the year.

5. Roddy Frame (Kazimier) - first time ever seeing him and he didn't disappoint, in my new favourite venue

 

Honourable mentions to Drive-By Truckers at the Academy, Vic Godard at Williamson Tunnels, Connan Mockasin at Bush Hall in that there London, the Bunnymen doing Ocean Rain at the Phil, and even Take That in Hamburg...
