much more music




















In the past few months I have had the luck of being able to attend and take some photos of a few gigs.

My dear friend Mark was on tour with a pretty famous Canadian band The Tragically Hip where they played 2 nights at the Paradiso, the first night was truely amazing Gordon giave 200% to his performance. A huge difference since the first time I saw them in Victoria at the Forge back in about 1991. The second night was also good but you could just tell they were a little exhausted from the night before. The best thing about it was though being able to hang out with Mark for a couple of days which we have not done since he was on tour with Dido over 4 years ago.


The second gig I saw was h Natural This link is a little out dated), the lovely singer from Marillion was on a solo tour and was playing in the strangest little town very close to the Hague. It was the quietest gig I have ever attended but wonderful and nice to be in such close proximity to see his humour and talent up close and personal.


















The third gig was a small Belgium band called Das Pop which my friend Martin invited me along, the band was lively and fun, but I was told that they used to be much more entertaining and the older songs were better. Either way for Euro 1o it was a good way to spend a Friday night.
