Ten plus gigs
Posted by Fridge on 7 June 2009 - 9:51am.
I went to see Maximo Park last week. Totting it up, it was the tenth time I'd seen them, mainly because I saw them a lot when they first broke through and I like their lead singer a lot.
The only other people I've seen ten or more times are Prince - the most amazing live performer I have ever seen, and someone I would watch every night of the week, forever - and Depeche Mode - the best 'big show' act I've ever seen and, well, if you do, you do.
Most other performers I've seen once or twice and then been disappointed and not bothered to return. It really does take something special to make you want to return to the well again and again.
Anyone else you've seen ten times or more?

Lots o' Gigs
You might find this thread from a couple of weeks back covers quite useful - it covers this subject in some depth.
Ta Fraser...
...missed that thread, obviously. As you were.
I've
never seen bob dylan.
The Magic Numbers
Love 'em, seen them about 12-13 times so far.
Katmandu
Cover band doing the circuit in Northern Ireland for about 30 years now.
They play every 12th July in Co Donegal, and I've seen the last 15 or 16 shows.
Lead singer, Marty Lundy is a bit of a local legend, and the drummer, Peter McKinney (no relation) used to be in The 4 Of Us. Nicky Scott, who used to play bass with Van Morrison, has also played regularly with them.
They're great.
