Recently I was putting some tickets in the box I store all my tickets/flyers in and realised how tatty and faded they were becoming. This fact, combined with my appalling memory, has led me to keep a list of the gigs I've been to. In making that list, I thought I'd produce the following A-Z of bands I've seen to post on here.

This list comprises of all the bands I know I've seen, whether it be as headliners, supports or at a festival. It is not a definitive list; some bands I've seen more than once but don't know how many times and I'm sure there's plenty of bands I've missed. But hopefully I've not missed too many...
