I can do artists but am a little vague on dates - for some of them I was a little vague on artists at the time, but that just shows my age ..... The Jam - farewell tour at Wembley Arena Michael Jackson in about 1983 at Wembley Stadium Bruce Springsteen the week before Live Aid at Wembley Stadium David Bowie (China girl time can't remember name of tour) Milton Keynes Bowl Meat Loaf twice at Wembley Arena approx 1980 and 1990 maybe Culture Club/Paul Young/that one with the beehive hairdo who Michelle Collins sang with Martha Wilson is it?? - about 1984 when Culture Club first came out at the Lyceum in the Strand One for Rick and Andy to laugh at - Take That at Earls Court in 1995 Rose Royce - can't remember where must've been about 1979??? That'll do - won't mention David Essex ok?? Maz. XX

Dennis Brown at the Rainbow N London Stevie Wonder 4 times at Wembley and Earls Court UB40 London Wet wet wet Brighton but my very first The Osmonds at Earls Court in the 70's lol

Don't get the opportunity to get to that many gigs and don't think I can come up with 8, but my favourites to date are: AC/DC - Cologne Stadium, 2001. Aging power-house rockers, who can still put on a mean act, complete with all the major props (the blow-up Rosie doll, the cannons, etc..). Culminated in a fireworks display. Wearing band t-shirt as I write!! Radiohead - Rock-am-Ring Festival, Nurburgring circuit, 2001. Magical gig. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood hopping about from playing guitar one moment to keyboards the next, whilst also flicking and turning switches like a mad scientist to produce all kinds of sound effects. Damp evening but no-one cared. Managed also to pick up a bootleg cd of their gig, at a record fair, a few months after R.E.M. - Cologne cathedral square, 2001. Free gig for the first 1,000 people who turned up! Beautifully sunny spring day. Got there at 1pm and sat in the packed square with loads of Germans and waited until 9pm when the band played.

Not been to too many concerts in my time. Most as a teenager and now with my daughter. List as follows; David Cassidy..........I was 11yrs old Bay City Rollers.......twice at 14yrs old The Boomtown Rats....with a friend(hated it) The Shadows.....with husband Peter Andre......with daughter when she was younger Runrig.......Hogmany in Princes Street Gardens (Brill) Westlife.....last year with daughter and off to see Westlife again next week! What a sad life I've led lol.
