Another end of year list.
Due to finance and a number of other reasons that I won't go into 2025 saw me attending only 6 concerts. A pawlty number when compared to 15 in 2024, 15 in 2023 and 9 in 2022.
On a more postive note I have 2 lined up for 2026 so far.
With the exception of the final one all this year's gigs have featured here before. Here they are with the links
1 - Dropkick - Glad Cafe, Glasgow 29/03/25 - 7/10 - here
I've seen Dropkick on a few occasions now and I would say that this was one of their more average shows.The highlight of the night for me were the Spanish support band from Valencia Star Trip
2 - Rose City Band - Stereo, Glasgow 14/05/25 - 9/10 -here
The second time that I have seen the Rose City Band (the first in 2022) and both times they have been my gig of the year. As I said at the time it was hard to envisage any better than this
3 - R.Dallas Gray/M John Henry 05/07/25 - Old Hairdressers, Glasgow - 8/10 - here
A small intimate gig at a small intimate venue with two artists promoting their new albums. R. Dallas Gray's music did nothing for me I'm afraid but M. John Henry was mesmerising.
4- Ward Thomas - Corran Halls, Oban 20/08/25- 7/10 - here
Mrs CC is the fan of the band but it was good to get away for a gig. They are good at what they do, but I'm afraid that they don't do much for me
5 - Broken Chanter - Glad Cafe, Glasgow - 8/10 - here
A concert recording songs for a live album which is scheduled for release late next year.
6 -Phil Cunningham's Christmas Concert- Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow 18/12
We traditionally attend this concert every year with Mrs CC's mum..It is a mixture of traditional and folk music featuring Phil Cunningham, John McCusker, Eddi Reader, Karen Mathieson, Kris Drever and others. Unfortunately Phil was ill but John led the line well. Another good show with some great musicianship.
M. John Henry - All Saints Day
Broken Chanter - Don't You Think That Something Needs To Be Done
