- Plaat van de maand MEI: It takes a worried man van Elliott Murphy:

- Woensdag 1 mei: voor het derde opeenvolgende jaar naar het Roots & Roses festival in Lessines geweest. Ontdekking én het beste concert van deze editie: Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band. Bevestiging: Slim Cessna's Auto Club, al zullen ze het dit jaar niet tot beste concert van het jaar schoppen.

- Donderdag 2 & zaterdag 4 mei: uitverkoop oude Music Mania Gent wat resulteerde in de aankoop van 40 LP's en 35 cd's.

- Vrijdag 17 mei: concert van US Rails in de kerk van Wespelaar! Barkoude avond, hartverwarmend concert.

- Vrijdag 24 mei: het jaarlijkse concert van Elliott Murphy & The Normandy Allstars in de Spirit Of 66 in Verviers. Bitter weinig volk, toch een straf concert alweer, met 'Last call' als hoogtepunt.

- Zaterdag 25 mei: Memorabel concert van Elliott Murphy & The Normandy Allstars in een bomvol Café-Musiques de l'Abattoir in Lillers. Ik blijf erbij: Elliott is op z'n best op geïmproviseerde podia in kleine, donkere cafés.  

- Zondag 26 mei: Voor het eerst Elliott Murphy solo gezien bij DD12 Concerts te Moerbeke-Waas, en alleen daarom al memorabel. 

- Heel wat concerten gezien dus tijdens de maand mei, maar ook aan mijn playlist te zien was mei een bijzonder rijkgevulde muziekmaand:
