8 TIMES
UFO
Long-lasting rockers still gigging.
7 TIMES
MOSE ALLISON
Hilarious observational jazz/blues pianist. Brilliant. Still alive.
HUE AND CRY
Talented, soulful, and still going. Particularly good acoustically.
THIN LIZZY
Obviously the 1976 twin guitar line-up was the classic. You had to be there.
6 TIMES
BARENAKED LADIES
Comedic Canadian funsters still on form.
DEF LEPPARD
Full throttle rock experience. Worth every penny.
GIRL
Glam rock – long since gone.
5 TIMES
JUSTIN CURRIE/DEL AMITRI
Bittersweet Scottish crooner – still in good voice
STRAY
Rediscovered in 2010, after first seeing them support Rush in 1977.
GIRLSCHOOL
Still going. Female rock - a down and dirty experience.
HALL & OATES
A bit soft soap, but with good soulful moments.
THE 45s
Clapham/Brentford pub band I followed insanely in the 80s.
4 TIMES
BLACK CROWES
Highly variable. They can rock out one gig and noodle incessantly the next.
BON JOVI
Guaranteed good time and masters of big venues.
DR. FEELGOOD
From Wilko to the current line-up, classic pub rock.
EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS
Still going and good as ever – you can’t not have fun at their gigs. Barry Masters still held together by chewing gum and ale.
FRANCIS DUNNERY
It Bites man keeps morphing into something else.
GLENN TILBROOK
The Squeeze man is humorous and highly talented. It’s like he’s playing in your kitchen.
JOOLS HOLLAND
A bit of a corporate gig these days, but he’s a hell of a talent, especially when jamming with others.
NINE BELOW ZERO
Good time London blues band, now celebrating their 30th anniversary.
NO DICE
Little-known and now defunct rock band we followed in the late seventies.
TRAIN
Reinvigorated American rockers.
