Gig Pig

Anyone who might have made my acquaintance will surely be aware of my propensity for musical geekdom. Spouting on and on about German electronica, record shops on boats and how I once got a stack of about 20 records for £1 from a hackney jumble sale.

Now as interested as you all must be in all that, I hope that I'm directing my enthusiasm for melodic sounds towards more universally beneficial purposes here, both with this gig section and with my musical recommendations section. So here are a few tasty assortments from the pick-and-mix of gigworld in London...

Phew. That, along with the previous elaborations of muscial concerts, should be enough to keep me going for a little while.

My name is Adam. And I am a melomane...
