At the end of last year I went to see the Levellers at Rock City with Amanda from the Ana Mum Diary, her husband Tall Dad and his friend. As Tall Dad listed all the gigs they had been to I realised how long it was since Mr A and I went to a gig.
Mr A loves rock and I am more of an Indie/Folk girl so although we both enjoy bits of each other’s music, Pop is where we tend to compromise and a guilty pleasure. I remember we went to see Take That in Manchester just after Mr G was born. It was an incredible show, really theatrical and had stunning effects. So when I heard there were Robbie Williams tickets available on Stub Hub I thought that might be perfect. So many classic tunes, guaranteed to be a good laugh I think.
Thinking a bit harder I think the last gig might have been the Foo Fighters last Spring. I even made a video it was such a rare event.
Now it is coming back to me, we did gig at Camp Bestival last Summer, but that was with kids in tow, literally, they were tucked up happily in sleeping bags and ear defenders in a trolley while we slept. But when you have to rack your brains so hard to recall your last gig or night out together it is a sign don’t you think?
Dad gave us some money for a night out and a babysitting voucher for Christmas. I am thinking a gig rather than a posh meal might be the way forward.

Oooo we used to go to loads of gigs and vowed that having children wouldn’t stop us when I was first pregnant. It did! However we are going to see some great bands in the NME tours leg at Bournemouth in late February and I can’t wait – we’ve gone all opulent and booked a b&b too!
Sounds very rock and roll Annie! Well done you for getting back on the bandwagon ha ha!

You should definitely do the gig and create some more lovely memories like these you’ve mentioned.

I definitely plan on seeing more live music — I did pretty well last year with Madonna (Hyde Park, hubby’s treat), Kool & the Gang (Camp Bestival) and loads more at various free concerts in London.
The man and I went to see Gorillaz for his birthday pressie a couple of years back and it was one of best gigs I’ve been to.
You both look very laid-back and rock & roll in that pic by the way. Good times x
