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!

Paddy's Gig Log
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.

Bombay Bicycle Club
Webster Hall · New YorkY'know what's awesome about being 33? You get to see a band like #bombaybicycleclub start their career at a bar in London with 7 of your best mates and no one else around. Then years later blow the roof off a venue in NYC. So fucking proud of em. The new album is brilliant and deserve every last bit of praise.

Brooklyn Bowl Nashville · NashvilleWent to Nashville to see @bombayinsta and they were brilliant but couldn’t fit everything else we did in 10 pictures. Partied to a 60s soul night at Jack Whites venue, went back to the record store the day after and played with all the toys and spent a fortune. Shots of moonshine at a beard convention. Played so many expensive guitars but resisted buying one. Saw a lot of parking garages and building sites. Thank you to @cheljo for my early birthday. x
