Its a great feeling when you manage to get tickets especially to a favourite artist , I really need to get to more than I do just now although I'm not too bad . When I was younger I used to go to loads in the Barras , SECC , Corn exchange etc.....I'd love to see Mr McTell and Kate Rusby and I really regret missing Suzanne Vega a couple of years back . Gigs are brill and when you get home it inspires you to pick up the guitar and play more .

Just back from a few days away from the computer so thanks for all your interesting replies. Can't believe that everyone doesn't know McTell; just shows how old I am!!!!!!
I totally agree with the chap who says that seeing other good performers inspires him; first thing I do when I get home is pick up the guitar. I know I can't emulate them but I can dream!
For many years I just didn't treat myself enough and even would think £15-40 is a lot of money (which it is). But when its about the same seeing one Football match live then it puts it into perspective. I now just grab the opportunity whenever I can. Now, I must book that Kieran Goss gig in Sheffield before I go to bed; its at least 4 months since I saw him ......
