Definitely a bittersweet gig - potentially my last at the beautiful Palace Theatre unless some sort of miracle occurs to preserve the state of live music in Melbourne - but what a way to celebrate its final few gigs with the enigmatic Jake Bugg performing to an appreciative sold out crowd. I caught my first ever gig souvenir - yes, I now own one of Bugg's drum sticks. Maybe it's time to learn how to play the drums?
I'm hoping it's not too late to save the Palace Theatre from destruction and transformation into a luxury hotel (because Melbourne doesn't have enough of those, clearly... </sarcasm>). If you want to help, check out http://savethepalace.com/ - every objection letter will help the cause!
