Hello :)

Given recent big concert tours, it feels like the right time to do an episode on 'travelling for music'. It's a subject I didn't think I'd have a lot to say about, given I don't often go to concerts even locally, never mind for travels, but the more I thought about it, the more interesting comparisons and contrasts I could find between my trips.

Topics discussed in this episode are: * My first concert (Heavenly, 1992) * The first concert I travelled for (Bon Jovi, 1995) * Travelling to Paris to listen to French singers ... * ... three times * You Look Like Taylor Swift * Other ways of travelling for music [This latter point will be expanded and the episode re-uploaded once I get a further contribution]

A PDF transcript of this podcast is available.

As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over.

Contributions in this episode come from: * my old schoolfriend Alistair, * Claire, who blogs at Curious Claire, and * Juliet, who can be found at I Am A Polar Bear

Until next time, bye for now. :)
