Gigs in London
One of my many motivations for moving to the UK was the promise of seeing a lot more live acts. Sure, there is a thriving live scene in Melbourne, but I never quite got off my bum to make the most of it – and the scale of said scene in London is considerably bigger. If a band is going to tour somewhere, chances are that London will feature on their “must play” list of cities ahead of Melbourne. So to keep myself honest, I’m going to keep a list of what I see over here.
