My Top Gigs of 2020
Coronavirus has messed up most of 2020, so surely 2021 must be better for all of us.
To all my gig-going chums, it has been slim pickings since "normal" gigs stopped in Mid-March.
I still managed to get along to 35 gigs in 2020...my lowest seen by me since 1974 ,when i was aged 15.
By a comparison, in 2019 I went to 172 live music events.
My total gigs seen from 1973 to 2020 is now 7089.
Here are my Top 10 gigs for 2020....in date order.
