Chantal and MTWA are certainly artists I intend to make an effort to see again this year. I’m steering clear of MT vs. AP politics, but the (AP)WA were disappointing even when they didn’t have Mostly Autumn to blow them off stage.

I’ve also got the MA Leamington Spa gig in my top gigs of 2010. A historical night with all those old classics being sung by Heather, possibly for the last time. A gig that I will always remember.
I’ve also got both Panic Room and Breathing Space on the list, although different gigs. Breathing Space at The Riga, Livvy and Bryan’s penultimate gig. And Panic Room at The Peel. I think I remember seeing you at both of those gigs.
And also the Sunday of CRF, the only day that I was there. MA, Breathing Space & Panic Room all on the bill = a must see gig. It was my first festival in about 20 years, and I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. Hoping for the same again in 2011.
Other memorable gigs that I’ve been to in 2011 are Chantel McGregor ( both solo acoustic and the full band electric show), Erja Lyytinen, Oli Brown, Virgil & The Accelerators, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Billy Walton Band and the excellent Martin Turner’s Wishbone Ash.
I’ve really enjoyed every gig I’ve been to in 2010.
