2017 highlight of the year

The patience, persistence, tiredness and ultimately excitement of watching Dave Grohl and Chevy Metal at the Oxford Art Factory. It was a hell of a day!

prediction for 2018

Virtual gig experiences. More live streaming of shows and pay-to-view concerts in VR!

And probably another 10 King Gizzard albums...
