We’re currently in ‘Page under re-construction mode’, but all Chapter 1 gig reviews still listed below.
The #AtoZMusicalTour took in a whole range of acts, venues, towns and even countries, though mostly in Glasgow. 1st band we seen on this leg of the tour was #Rudebeard on 27 January and we managed to tick off the last letter of the alphabet we needed, X, by seeing Xiu Xiu on 16 November.
Click on the links to see the reviews for each.
