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. A band only counts as seen at a festival if I called them out at the time, 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.
