Something I’ve not done in a while; three gigs in just over a week.

Generally, I’ve not looked forward to a gig at Digital. It’s not the best venue and the beer’s awful. But, last night, they actually had semi decent beer, albeit in cans. There was no draught beer at all, since the bar with taps was closed. But, looking at that bar, that was probably a good thing.

Nouvelle Vague were very, very good last night. Only a French band could pull off covers of mostly British classics songs in their unique style. I’d only seen them once before, with a slightly different lineup. There should have been another occasion, but Covid got in the way of that.

Just over a week before, there was CMAT at the City Hall. This was the third time I’d seen her in three years. She just keeps getting better, although I think I more enjoyed the first time I saw her in Nottingham, before she became so well known. But she’s still great.

Sadly, the choice of beer at the City Hall is terrible.

The day before, The Offspring played at the arena. It’s an awful venue, but the band were on great form. I’d only seen them once previously, 14 or 15 years ago at Lowlands festival, in Holland.

This time, it was more than a gig, though, it was a show.

I won’t mention the quality, or choice, of beer at the arena. I gave up on that years ago.

But it’s been a good couple of weeks.
