Jo Forster photoDEVO @ICC…my first ever gig in ‘82 & also my most recent. Still amazing in their 50th year.
DESCENDENTS @The Metro…old punks playing with the energy and enthusiasm of teenagers, out there in a league of their own.
ROCKS/STRIKE OUTS/JANE DOES @The Moshpit…ROCKS as per Descendents comment, absolutely relentless. As a bonus, they treat their support bands as equals…a great bunch of humans.

CHARLIE OWEN @The Moshpit…a national treasure sharing his rock’n’roll stories with songs from across his career. One of my all-time favourite axemen.
SCOTTY NASH TRIBUTE @Petersham Bowlo…a wonderful afternoon for a wonderful bloke. Johnny Casino was (unsurprisingly) man of the match, followed closely by a very brief reunion of The Crusaders.
THE CHURCH @Enmore Theatre…the ‘classic’ lineup is long gone, but they are still incredible & huge respect for always moving forward, not being stuck in the ‘chicken-in-a-basket’ oldies circuit like many of their peers. Having Ash Naylor in the lineup doesn’t hurt either.
THE ALLNITERS @Cronulla Beach…always a joyous occasion, especially with ocean views.
