As regulars will know, I am a music writer, and I go to hundreds of gigs, and I almost always go alone. I also attend festivals on my own too.
I have no problem going alone, often I am working so it's easier to be on my own because I have to concentrate on doing my job, which is interviewing and / or reviewing, and having someone else there is a distraction - but I often go to gigs for fun and go on my own then as well.
The present Mrs Hughes doesn't like the music I like, so she doesn't often come along, but she may be coming to Montreal with me this summer for the Jazz Festival. She won't do jazz, just see Montreal, while I work myself silly day and night as usual!
