London Live Playlist – Highlights from our first year watching bands in London

It has been a year since Ana-Paula and I moved to London, and what a year it has been. One of the major benefits of living here has been the access to great gigs on a regular basis. It has been a fairly decent year for live music. So to celebrate our first year in this city I made her a playlist (not as romantic as a mixtape, but friendlier to the environment).

I put together a list of 30 songs we’ve seen live in the past twelve months. This playlist doesn’t cover all the bands we’ve seen, it’s just the highlights package. I don’t own music by all the support acts or bands we saw at Reading Festival. I also left off Limp Bizkit, because Ana-Paula really didn’t like them. It was quite a task to try and remember all the shows, fortunately I use a site called Songkick to get gig updates, so it was easy to track my gigography. If you’re interested you can listen to a variation of this playlist on Spotify. We already have some great shows planned for the next few months, so hopefully next year’s playlist will be even better!
