It’s been a week since the last night of Morrissey’s UK & Ireland tour. For three weeks I put most of my life on hold and lost myself to a world that I find difficult to describe, but one that I’m so very happy to have experienced. Following a tour is of course ultimately dictated … Continue reading On returning

The pleasure, the privilege, is mine
A couple of years ago I wrote about why Morrissey fans feel misrepresented. Well, nothing changes, this continues to be the case in the press, and I mostly try to ignore their nonsense. But regarding the recent lies suggesting that fans would like to see Morrissey ‘replaced’ by Rick Astley, I’ll start by stating the … Continue reading The pleasure, the privilege, is mine
Hammersmith, 21st September 2015
With live music concerts now on hold, we are left with only memories of happier times. And this show at Hammersmith Apollo five years ago remains one of my favorites. I wasn’t writing my blog at the time, but my head is still filled with so many memories and emotions from that night, I could … Continue reading Hammersmith, 21st September 2015
Know me more than you do
With the excitement of Morrissey’s return to the UK in March having been swiftly followed by lockdown, and the subsequent postponement of any further dates, Morrissey fans have been biding their time amusing themselves online in various ways. One weekly highlight is the Sunday quiz, organised by long-time fan Kristin Collins, based on an idea … Continue reading Know me more than you do
Wembley, 14th March 2020
After a few days at home in Leeds, recuperating from my trip to Cologne, I am ready to embark on my next Morrissey trip, this time to London. It is an unusal Morrissey trip in that my husband and son are accompanying me, grabbing an opportunity for a weekend excursion, and we all set off … Continue reading Wembley, 14th March 2020
Cologne, 9th March 2020
I think, for me, Cologne will always be remembered as the Morrissey trip that didn’t go to plan. Somewhat against the odds, the show itself went ahead, and I enjoyed every moment of it, but the 48 hours or so surrounding it tested my sanity. Actually, it all started 4 days prior to travelling, with … Continue reading Cologne, 9th March 2020
Leeds, 6th March 2020
When I travelled to Canada to see Morrissey last year, a few people asked me if I thought he would ever do a show in the UK again. Each time, I reluctantly responded that I thought it was unlikely. But despite being able to say those words, I had never really come to terms with … Continue reading Leeds, 6th March 2020
Vancouver, 15th October 2019
At 6am I am wide awake. Last night’s post show negativity has depressed me, and I already dread the bleakness of the long flight home. Something is missing somehow. I need to do something to lift myself out of this, to ensure I get the most from these much anticipated few days. Thinking over last … Continue reading Vancouver, 15th October 2019
Mid week on the playing fields
The world can be a pretty depressing place, and one of the biggest sources of depression for me has always been observing how utterly stupid people can be. And unfortunately, social media platforms provide a prime example of this. I have for some time been reflecting on how the treatment of Morrissey by the press, … Continue reading Mid week on the playing fields
Vancouver, 14th October 2019
When I travelled to Toronto to see Morrissey in April, I wasn’t planning on returning to Canada, or even to embark on any more transatlantic flights this year. But as every ardent Morrissey fan knows, watching and waiting, and waiting and watching, is very hard. With the reality of an entire US tour plus further … Continue reading Vancouver, 14th October 2019
