V Good indeed. I went to see them when they headlined at Maine Rd in '91 (I went to see the Stranglers, who were disappointing) and I was very impressed. Good voice, good musicianship, good live act.

My most recent was Steve Hackett (ex Genesis guitarist, before they commerciallised) last month, at Manchester Academy. AWESOME.

Nothing on the horizon though. Most of the stuff I like, are in the pension queue.

Only regret was not seeing the Stones in 90 at Maine Rd. Ticket prices for them now are taking the mick.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor; 7th December, Manchester. Top notch!

Last gig was James at the MEN Arena on Saturday night. Spur of the moment decision to go while bevvied in Manchester after the Liverpool match got called off, so we went down at 9pm and got three tickets for the price of one off a tout. Decent gig I think but I don't remember too much about it!

Next gig I've got a ticket for is the Levellers in London in March but a few thing's are bound to come up between now and then.

Best gig of 2010 was Gallows at Moho Live in Manchester last month - the purest punk rock show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Second best was the Gaslight Anthem at the Academy in June.

I've been to Reading festival nine times (in a row 2001-09) and Download 2006. Doing Sonisphere next year for the thrash big four.

I went to kiss this year and next year im going to see maroon 5

Top five gigs of 2010?

1)Gallows - Manchester Moho Live, November
2)The Gaslight Anthem - Manchester Academy, June
3)Dropkick Murphys - Manchester Academy and Brixton Academy (ranked equally as they were virtually the same gig three nights apart), April
4)The Gaslight Anthem - Manchester Apollo, November
5)Slayer - Manchester Academy, May

Hnourable mentions to Sick Of It All, The King Blues and Fear Factory who were all unlucky to miss the top five cut.

If memory serves me correctly did OMD and Voice of the Beehive appear as well on that bill? I was disappointed with the Stranglers as well but strangely thought OMD were really entertaining, especially Andy McClusky's dancing............

Gig of 2010 for me - Mumford & Sons in March in Manchester.

Castle Donington 84 AC/DC headlined Van Halen, Ozzy, Gary Moore on the line up as well, the weather was great, had great mates, fit young bird on my arm, not a worry in the world............Where did it all go wrong!

Last gig Airbourne at manc apollo, got my hearing back after 4days!

yep excellent seen em about 6 years ago at the apollo..you`ll not b disappointed

Groove Armada are very good live.I saw the chemical brothers do a dj set at sankey soaps which was good.Seen the chemical brothers do they hits at the apollo, which wasn't as good as their dj set.Tribal Gathering was a excellent gig,love parade in leeds was good.

Motorhead at the Apollo was the highlight of the year. Lemmy is a true rock'n'roll legend.
