Anniversary...

I wasn't posting this time last year, but I really wanted to get something here, in my permanent record, to celebrate the 29th September 2023.

I supposed to see Home Free in concert in March 2020... but it was finally September 2023 before they were able to return to Europe to complete their tour. By then I'd decided that I would take every opportunity to see them while they were here, and booked for all three shows (Birmingham, Manchester, London). The first was Birmingham on the 29th, and I had meet and greet tickets, which got me in the front row...

But a couple of days before the show I'd bought a ticket for the Longest Johns in March of this year - somehow I'd gone from someone who didn't go to concerts to a full on enthusiast. We knew that Adam Chance of Home Free was a fan of theirs, he'd been to their concert in LA the previous year, and so I was happy but not surprised to see him wearing one of their T-Shirts on stage. What I wasn't expecting was this...

And then at the end I walked past them... so it would have been rude not to say hello, though it didn't occur to me to get a picture.

Eventually around 1am I wound down enough to go to sleep, before my trip to Manchester the next day - but that's a story for another time.
