Kirsty MacColl | Live Appearances
The comprehensive gig list was originally compiled from the research of Terry Hurley, and has been added to over the years, also now including TV appearances.
On live performance, Kirsty said in 1994 while promoting the Galore album, “I didn't do any performing for 10 years. Then I forced myself to get over it. I decided to fix up a tour and, if I didn't enjoy it by the end, I would never do it again. That was three years ago and I've done a lot of touring since then, so I suppose it's OK now.”
Finally at ease with performing live, Kirsty walked off the stage at Shepherds Bush Empire in London on 28th October 2000, turned to Pete Glenister and said “That was the best gig I've ever done!” It was also to be her last.

Terry’s original notes
The attached listings are taken from many sources, e.g. my own knowledge, local and national newspapers/ magazines & TV, various event listings and, on occasion, “sources close to KM”.
Where I am sure that no support band played, I have indicated this. I can vouch for the existence of all of the support bands listed apart from July 23 1993, a gig I didn’t attend. Support was advertised for August 18 & 19 1992, although I don’t have details of who it was. It is entirely possible that there are some errors in this listing although I have checked and double-checked my references and sources.”
Development
Since the original gig list was published many additions have been made based on submissions from around the world. Where there is some degree of doubt we have tried to make this clear.
