Next weekend I’m off to Edinburgh to see Mostly Autumn supporting Bryan Adams at Murrayfield Stadium.
I know it’s a long way to go just to see the support band, but they are playing a 75 minute ‘special guest’ spot. It’s by far the biggest gig they’ve ever done. And as DT said, “How can you not go?”.
This will be my first big open-air gig since The Garden Party at Milton Keynes. That was back in 1986, 21 years ago! Yikes!
I’m completely neutral on Bryan Adams himself; all I know is a few of his biggest hits. I’m sure he can put on an entertaining show. But I have to hand it to him for giving my favourite band the opportunity to perform on a big stage and hopefully make a significant number of new fans. Let’s hope they rise to the occasion and play the sort of absolute blinder I’ve seen them play when they’re on top form.
