SLOWDIVE - The Fleece, Bristol, March 30th, 2017
THE BIG ONE. Seeing Slowdive was something that I always had to do since I became a Shoegazer back in 2015. They are the definitive band of the genre. A band that never got swayed by the media or the public. They always did their own thing and did it extremely well.
This gig took place a couple of months they released their new self-titled comeback album. it was a chance to see SLOWDIVE up close and personal, and it certainly was personal as I met the whole band that night and they signed my SLOWDIVE CD covers and I got pictures with them all.

My first Shoegaze gig was seeing RIDE at the Roundhouse on the 24th May 2015. I stayed in London, got the tube to Camden. it takes longer to get around London than I thought!
This is before RIDE had put out any new material, so it was a good mix of songs from their early 90′s catalogue on the set list. The noise section in the middle of ‘Drive Blind’was a highlight for me. It was much louder at the Roundhouse. ‘Other highlights were ‘Sennen’ and ‘Close My Eyes’.

Me and Christian Savill, Slowdive’s guitar god.
I looked a state back then. I look alot different now, thankfully. I have a hair style now. But it’s a good memory
