First concert of the year. Mold's finest, The Joy Formidable at Manchester Gorilla on the 15th February. Not the best lighting and I struggled to get any decent images. Taken with a Canon SX260HS

You did well getting tickets for PATD, I took my daughter to Glasgow to see them the other week. Left her and my wife at the Hydro and took some night shots on the river!
How did Bob Mould sound? Copper Blue is one of my all-time favourite albums.

Bob Mould sounded as good as ever. A great selection of Sugar and Husker Du songs as well as his newer stuff. Hard to notice the difference. All played loud and at high speed :rock:

Next, the superb Prophets of Rage at the Manchester Academy in August. Basically Prophets Of Rage are Rage Against The Machine but with Chuck D of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill.

A tribute to the late Chris Cornell. The band played Cochise with a floodlit empty mike stand. The audience did the vocals. Brilliant.

To be fair he is 66. He does OK for a pensioner.

A few more.
The Blinders on 2nd November at an album launch event at 33 Oldham Street in Manchester.
Excellent as always.

The following night I went to London to the Scala at King's Cross to see Adorable, one of the early 1990s most underrated and forgotten bands. They reunited for just a handful of gigs to mark 25 years since their last concert in 1994. This one was the last gig on Sunday 3rd November.
