What are people’s feeling about this?
OK it won’t be the absolute first time I’ve done this. But it will be only the second time. And the previous occasion was in 1987!
I’m going to see Sophie B Hawkins next Monday at the Jazz Cafe. I asked my usual selection of friends and they were either not interested (which is fair enough) or working.
Ive been wanting to see her live for years and she so rarely does concerts in the UK, so I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a ticket for one. There are a couple of friends of mine who have been going to gigs solo for years and think nothing of it, but it’s an unfamiliar experience for me. I’m a bit apprehensive of attending on my own which is of course a bit silly for a man in his mid 50s. Maybe I should just ‘grow a pair’
Do fellow WHOers go to gigs solo?

Don't regret not going if you really want to experience it, dm.
Did it last year pinging off my nut at a Chemical Brothers gig and had a fucking great time.

Re: Going to a gig on your own
I might have to do this for the first time in October for a band I really want to see that no one else I know is bothered about. There's bands now I really regret not seeing that are unlikely to tour live anymore (Fleetwood Mac/Daft Punk).

Met some great people up there, you really don't need familiar faces around you to enjoy yourself. Of course it's an individual thing,helps if your outgoing and have an open mind to others.
