If there’s a load of typos and spelling mistakes in this post I’m sorry. I’m sat on my sofa the day after Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling and I am whacked. Who knew watching Bruce and the band could be so exhausting? So Hard Rock Calling was my third Springsteen show this year. It seems…

Fans become familiar with Bruce Springsteen‘s music in many different ways, but I have my dad to thank for introducing me to Bruce. Before I came along, my dad was one of the lucky ones at Hammersmith in the 70s. At Wembley in 1981, when he was supposed to be taking it easy in a wheel chair…

Two days before seeing Bruce Springsteen at Wembley I declared to a fellow fan “If they open with Land of Hope and Dreams, I will cry”. So when the first few notes blasted out across Wembley Stadium on Saturday, I knew I was in for one of the most spectacular concerts I would ever see. …

With the Australian leg of the Wrecking Ball tour over, it’s a matter of days before Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band arrive in Europe for the next set of dates. I’ve been waiting for this since I saw the band get rudely cut off mid-song in London last year. I’m counting down the…

This is the third burger I’ve had in Manchester and I’m beginning to think I should relocate. If I did move, I’d want to live in Chorlton so The Parlour could be my local. The Parlour is a cosy pub in a laid back part of Manchester called Chorlton. There’s a real sense of community…

2012 saw the beginnings of Burgers and Bruce and it’s been a mighty burger eating and Bruce watching year. With hundreds of pounds spent (I can’t bring myself to do the calculations), I’ve seen six live Springsteen shows and eaten over 50 burgers worldwide (again, I can’t bring myself to do the calculations). April 2012…

A couple of weeks ago I was sat at home quite happily watching some TV when a very exciting bit of news popped up on Twitter and got me all restless – yep, Bruce Springsteen to play in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in September 2013. I yelped in excitement as I have been waiting for…
