People who know can tell you I love music, especially seeing bands live. Problem is, the older I get, although I still love going to gigs, I just get knackered, so I'm totally shattered after this past weekend.
It went something like this.
Saturday - karate class, rush home, shower, change, grab a bite to eat, grab guitar and head into town for guitar lesson. THEN, rush down to the Merchant City to a friends house, to leave the guitar with him, as both of us head back into town to go and see Wilko Johnson on his farewell tour - Wilko is dying of pancreatic cancer, has months to live, and is refusing treatment which will only extend his life by 2 to 3 months, so that he can do what really is, a farewell tour.
And what a gig. It was fantastic, but also very emotional. Here's a guy who dying, but you'd never know it to look at him charging round the stage.
Sunday - bit of a lie in, then down to Silverburn for some shopping (hey, we need to eat), before heading back into town to see Dan Reed. Again, another sterling performance.
Then home to collapse and try and get some sleep.
I've got some photos from both gigs, that I'll put up in seperate posts.
