Songkick is this newish social sharingy database of gigs. According to their About Us Page, they've got around a million gigs on the database, so I looked up a few of my favourite gigs and found I was going to have to add them myself.
So far I've logged in 240 gigs in the last fourteen years, by a weird quirk of fate its been exactly fourteen years today since my first gig, Cast with The Longpigs at the Boardwalk in Manchester.
It averages out to about one and a half gigs per month, but I've still got loads more to add.
I think my gig life broadly falls into four epoques
- Manchester schooldays (1995-1997 - 27 gigs)
- Glasgow Unidays (1997-2001 - 83 gigs)
- Glasgow Working (2001-2004 - 53 gigs)
- Glasgow Managing (2004-2007 - 14 gigs)
- London (2007-present - 71 gigs)
As it stands right now, my top venues for gigs are as follows
- King Tuts - 46 gigs
- Barrowlands - 22 gigs
- Buffalo Bar - 9 gigs
- Glasgow QMU - 8 gigs
- The Lamb on Conduit Street - 7 gigs
- The Luminaire - 7 gigs
And my top bands are
- MJ Hibbett - 11 gigs
- Belle and Sebastian - 8 gigs
- Pocketbooks - 8 gigs
- Idlewild - 7 gigs
- The School - 6 gigs
- Camera Obscura - 5 gigs
- Darren Hayman - 5 gigs
So yeah, Songkick is my new favourite website
