Willkommen, Bienvenue and Welcome to a fun-packed installment of The Gigwatcher. I've returned from my travels (to the northern lands and all points west, from snow to sheep in a matter of days) to find that, in my absence, a whole pile of gigs were waiting in the backpages of the NME:
Panic! At The Disco @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 23/03/2006
Imogen Heap @ Komedia, Brighton - 05/04/2006
Jenny Lewis @ Hanbury Ballroom, Brighton - 16/04/2006
Shack (plus Jim Noir) @ The Concorde, Brighton - 06/05/2006
Computerman; @ Lennon's, Southampton - 13/05/2006
The Zutons @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 23/05/2006
Billy Bragg (plus Seth Lakeman) @ The City Hall, Salisbury - 01/06/2006
Red Hot Chilli Peppers @ Madjeski Stadium, Reading - 03/07/2006
The Ordinary Boys @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 11/10/2006
All these gigs will, when I'm not busy stuffing CDs into iTunes, join the others in the Son of Music Club's Events Calendar. I've already added in a whole swathe of upcoming gigs covering what's on the Portsmouth Guildhall, The Joiners, The Brook and The Wedgewood Rooms (plus a couple of other places) over the next few months. Once registered on the forum you have full run of the Events Calendar to discover the goodies thereon.
As for the forum, not much has been happening lately, though there's now an IOW Festival thread. Well.. I think that's that for now.. there may well be another Gigwatcher coming your way this Wednesday, dependent on what the NME has to say for itself.

The Gigwatcher 01/02/2006
Like sand through the hourglass, these are gigs of our lives.
Or not.
There's not much to report this week I'm afraid (other than, surprise surprise, both the Richard Ashcroft and Morrissey tours have sold out already). So, eyes down for a full house, here's the slim pickings from the back pages of this week's NME:
Story One @ Southampton University - 11/02/2006
Larrikin Love @ The Joiners, Southampton - 28/03/2006
The Charlatans @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 09/05/2006
Not much there then. Still, I have gigs up my sleeve; here's a couple of forthcoming musical events I've heard about that may pique your interest:
One Weird Fish @ The Cellars at Eastney, Eastney - 04/02/2006
Steve Arnott @ The Frog & Frigate, Southampton - 24/02/2006
I'll add all of the above gigs into the Events Calendar on Son of Music Club forum (upon which the current hot topic is Shuey making his position clear as far as all things Arctic Monkeys goes).
And that ties a knot in it for this week. There won't be a Gigwatcher next week as I'll be in snowy Stockholm enjoying the frozen wastes and expensive ales. The week after will most likely Gigwatcher free also; I'm supposed to be on a course in sunny Newport. Oh crap. What's the welsh for "can I have an NME please?".
Or not.
