As we're coming up to the end of the year — and I don't have any more gigs until next year — I've decided to summarise my five favourite gigs of 2011. I've linked to full reviews of the gigs where relevant.

Last Friday — 25^th November 2011 — I went to the UKF Bass Culture event in North London. The event, hosted in Alexandra Palace, showcased over 30 electronic music acts, specifically dubstep and drum & bass acts. Unlike any other gig I have been to before, this one was an all-nighter, with the last act finishing at around 6.00am on Saturday morning.

This is my first attempt at writing a review for a gig, so feedback would be appreciated. Last night (6th November 2011) I went to The Blackout's gig at the Roundhouse in Camden, London with two friends — @foggface and @jonnyeyles. As it was on a weekend, we went into London fairly early to have some leisurely pre-gig drinks and get some food in our bellies. After settling at The Ice Wharf on Camden Lock — which I thoroughly recommend as one of the nicest Wetherspoons bars I have been to — we made our way to the venue in time to catch the last support band who took to the stage at 8.30pm.
