I noticed a news item recently about a guy who claimed to be the world gig-going champion.

I have taken the opportunity of the Xmas break to update my list of gigs to prove that it is indeed I who should hold that title.

The Gig List now runs to 94 pages and contains comments on all the gigs I have attended since 1964 (The Hollies) and 2008 (Ukelele Orchestra Of Great Britain).

That's forty-four years of gigs, spanning pop, rock, folk, blues, prog, punk, Americana and a whole lot more.

Now you may think this is mad but when the book VOLUME was published a few years back, containing the list as it was then, I received emails from all over the world from people who were fascinated, pleased or outraged by it. "I was there", "I had forgotten I was there" and "I played in that band" were typical comments. As were "I agree" and "I disagree".

So maybe it should now reach a wider audience. Follow this link and have a look.
