My Love of Live Music

Posted on 06/12/201712/11/2023 by Rock For Disability
I Love Music

Live music is a magical experience; the loud music, the bass vibrations, the artistic lighting and the atmosphere of being surrounded by like minded people singing and dancing to our favourite tunes.

  • Comment on 8 Myths About Living With Urinary Catheters Busted by Dan McIntyre 30/09/2025
    I use a night bag, attached to my leg bag, on long road trips. I tuck the night bag under my driver's seat and can drive without stopping, from Scotland to Wales or southern England if necessary. I always keep two night bags handy in the car.
