some tom mcrae pics, i did have a lovely long review but my computer crashed and ate it :(

hope you like these, please let me know what you think :)oh i also was lucky enough to get a set list (John Hoggs) which i will scan and put up later.

Yay! I have finally managed to insert photos in my blogs so check out the Sarah McLachlan blog which has been updated. Also I am not long back from Download festival in Donnington, saw lots of bands including Queen Adreena, Wednesday 13, JJ72, Apocalyptica, Feeder, Black Sabbath, Dresden Dolls and more. Review of this rock-filled weekend is in progress :)

These are some pics I took at Sarah McLachlan in Edinburgh. Most of them didnt turn out very well but I photoshopped some of the better ones. Click on the thumbnail to see a bigger version, and the last one is a little avatar animation thing that i thought looked cool.

OK so i looked out all my old concert tickets that i could find and the few setlists i have but i have been to more concerts than i thought! Its gonna take me ages to go through them all. I guess it makes sense to start with the most recent concerts ive been to cos they will be easier to remember and then work backwards. So the ones i will be doing first are JJ72 (Saturday 14th May 2005) and Regina Spektor (Sunday 8th May 2005). Got some pics from both to upload if i can figure out how to!

Just thought id post links to some of my fave websites.

www.onherown.net  (Ani DiFranco fansite with a cool forum)

www.sarahmclachlan.info (Sarah McLachlan site which has all the latest news)

www.throwndown.net (Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks fansite)

www.alexanderboyd.tk (site with lots of cool music pics)

www.buckinghamnicks.net (another FM/SN fansite)

www.geocities.com/musictrade04 ( a cool trade page)

Decided to start a blog with reviews of gigs ive been to. Might take a while to go through them all, but it will be a good record of memories for me and hopefully might be interesting to other music fans. Will upload any pics or setlists ive got from each gig and my thoughts.
