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.

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.
Lovely evening meeting Matt and his mum from Sheffield with @jplallen talking about Wednesday. And look! It was nice enough to be on a rooftop in January! Madness!

🎵I never thought I’d miss you, half as much as I do!🎵 Another British legendary band ticked off this week. Not bad eh. Madness were one of the first bands I obsessively played as a kid, last night took me back to sitting in my bedroom as a teenager rifling through my cassettes and throwing on Divine Madness (yes, a best of) over and over again. So many fun tunes and they played a lot of them last night, fave being Embarassment.
