04. Worst concert
The NIghtingales at Bodega last year. Only gig I ever actually walked out before the end. I liked them back in the day when I saw them at the Living Room. Now they are heavy metal driven by the worst screeching drummer in the world.

08. Most surprising
Flaming Lips supporting Mercury Rev at Brookes University Oxford when never heard of them..balloons…lots of colour..
09. Happy I got to see
