Up until last weekend I hadn't been to a gig in 8 years so there are plenty of bands I want to see live that I listen to now. Funny how music tastes change as I only listen to a handful of those bands now. Some of them I haven't listened to in a long time, or I was forced to go to the show by my missus.

So my first show in 8 years was:

1. Erik Mongrain - Poulton Le Fylde
   

I think I have missed out a few so I will add them when I remember. My memory isn't so great anymore.
