Using email receipts and photos I've managed to find most gigs ive been to since 2007, logged them and aligned them to the photos I took. I've also brought my annual year end music blogs and spotify playlists from each year that I have - 15 years of reviews and tracks - Enjoy!
Every show I could find a ticket for, from Anathallo at the Borderline in 2008 to whatever's on next week in Brooklyn. Festivals and club nights are logged as events but kept out of the band stats, since nobody remembers exactly who they saw at Gov Ball.
Tap any name for that artist's page: every time I've seen them, photos from Instagram, and where they turn up in my albums of the year.
Busiest year: 2025 with 38 shows. 2020 has just one: New Colossus in March, the week everything shut down. Everything else booked that year was cancelled.
| Date | Who | Where | Type |

Every year-end list from the blog, ranked the way Paddy ranks them: by how much each record actually got played.
Artists who made the list in three or more years.
One page per artist, with every gig in date order, photos and clips from Instagram where I posted any, and their appearances in Albums of the Year. Festivals and nights out get a page per event series.
Wow. That was amazing. Being 10ft away from Mavis Staples singing I'll take you there. Will never forget that. (Facebook)

Wow! FKA Twigs show is fantastic. Looks like a Broadway production but with better music.

Sufjan's live shows are a bit different to the album's. Way less songs about death, lot more neon.

Ridiculously shitty day, but I'm finally sat in a field drinking a surprisingly good beer watching the fantastic Preservation Hall Jazz Band :)

Some pics from last night's amazing Arcade Fire gig at the very impressive Grand Prospect Hall. #everythingnow #arcadefire

Arcade fire are still a special band, regardless of the idiot singer. Regine is a goddess. Neon Bible in full, yes please. Amazing as usual.
