I don't begrudge anyone the experience of a stadium gig. But, for me, nothing beats standing mere feet from one of your favourite artists in an intimate venue - in this case, @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social (plus hubby, Robyn Hitchcock, in support) at a sold-out Troubador. Just glorious (and only £12)!
