The humble punter’s – eye view of live London

by Tourdates Staff Writer, first published in LondonTourdates #045 ,24th April 2009

What’s your favourite London music venue?
The Forum in Kentish Town. I saw Elliott Smith there and he’s my favourite ever musician so it holds good memories. Large enough without being impersonal.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever seen?
Bob Dylan at The Brixton Academy was up there. I’ve seen him loads of times and he’s been awful in the past, which made it good to see him put in a really great performance.

What’s the worst gig you’ve ever seen?
Weirdly, it was probably Bob Dylan at Wembley Arena. The sound was awful and I was in the seats right at the top so I felt like I might as well have not even been there. I could have been outside.

What was the last gig you went to?
Angus and Julia Stone at The Roundhouse. It’s a really nice venue and was a good show. It was actually better than I thought it would be because I wasn’t that into the album.

What was the first gig you ever went to?
Oasis at Earls Court in 1995. I was 15. When they opened the doors I ran straight to the front. When they started playing I thought I was gonna die because the crowd collapsed.

Which band from throughout history would you have liked to have seen?
It might sound obvious but it would have to be The Beatles. Probably in their later days though when they weren’t even touring, so it would have been very difficult even then.
