ALBUMS

Maps - We Can Create

Greg Wilson - Credit to the Edit, Greg Wilson Edits of Rockers Revenge, Chaka Khan etc. ( 2005 / 2006)

GIGS

Happy Mondays - Brixton Academy, surprisingly good.

LOWS

New Order no more, even if just for the live shows, always great.

LOOKING FORWARD

Doves album

 

New Doves album? When when when?!

The highlight of this year for me was the 3rd Kings of Leon album(buggered if i can remember the name though ).

 

Albums:
Sontiche - Ever (www.sontiche.com) simply beautiful.

Gigs: Kila - Belfast.....mental and I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks again.

The Blue Nile - Belfast ......Perfect.

Roger Waters - Dublin - Got to meet Snowy White and Roger back stage.

David Sylvian- Dublin.......sublime.

LOWS: and it's a big low. Amy Winehouse in Belfast......absolute shite.
