I always see slightly scruffy old blokes hanging around at gigs..

I never realised they were all SoundsXPers though

I've been to see 2 acts by myself.

1 was Menswe@r on the Being Brave tour and the other was Bob Dylan in 2004. Both were good shows but there's something about standing on your own in a crowd of people that's very depressing.

No, i'm with Bola on this - it's something that you shouldn't do alone. I've done it a few times where i've known the band but otherwise I hate it. I go to the cinema/theatre/museums on my own but I just don't like doing gigs/pubs without company.
P.S - I can't come to your gig tonight, Neil. I've got a virus and i've only stopped getting sick now. I'm weak and going to bed now. Goodbye all.

There is a thriving indie pop scene in London once again. I can chance going to one of those gigs on my own as there is always someone there I know. Mind you if a bomb was planted it one of those gigs it would wipe the whole scene out as it is all the same people who attend week in, week out!
