Who have you seen live (so far!) this year?

[legspin]

Not sure if this counts, but I was van driver for a band called Humanzi yesterday. They were doing a tv gig for RTÉ. in Dingle (far s/west of Ireland). Anyway, while waiting for them to turn up yesterday I caught the soundcheck of the singer/ guitarist José Gonzalez (guy from a sony ad).

It was fucking brilliant.

Also saw The Waterboys (for the first time since seeing them in Brum about 14 years ago) at the same gig.
