Let’s be honest, I go to a lot of gigs. And I always carry a sketchbook. So I do a lot of gig scribbling…or is that scrib giggling…or gib scriggling? Maybe I should get a good night’s sleep 😀

Canoodling Couple
I was at a gig the other evening and saw this couple canoodling in front of me. So I scribbled them. Twice! They canoodled a lot.
The Way They Use Their Legs
I was scribbling at a gig again last week, at Elysium for The Krakens and Celtic Vagabond (just missed Whilbur unfortunately). The venue is great for live music AND exhibitions. I saw these two guys standing near each other, but the way they used their legs was very different. So I scribbled ’em!
Y Pregethwyr / The Preacher
I was off gallivanting at a gig (no surprises there) the other week and had a quick scribble as I listened to a solo musician called Y Pregethwr (The Preacher) who played an extraordinary, haunting and avant garde set.

And Another Gig Goer…
Honestly, you’d think I spent my entire life at gigs! Well, it’s my main source of socialising and entertainment, so I suppose I do. Here’s someone else enjoying the music.
Musicians In Hats.
I don’t half make things hard on myself. As well as having a liking for drawing musicians, who have the nerve to be always moving around, I also have a thing about drawing hats. So…musicians with hats. Not easy. Not easy at all. Fun though. This was at a gig a few nights ago byContinue reading “Musicians In Hats.”
Drawing at gigs is good. Plenty of opportunities to scribble people in the audience and on stage, in relation to the interiors or to their instruments. I find that drawing instruments is the hardest thing. Of course, musicians move around which makes sketching harder, but the instruments are usually constantly on the move too, changingContinue reading
