I went to see terrorvision 7 times as a kid. Never beaten it. Ladytron and cocknbullkid 5 times is the closest I've come. Pretty impressive seeing cocknbullkid 5 times considering she only did one album I think.

Terrorvision.....there's a name from the past. My pal and former next door neighbour is their original drummer, Ian Shuttleworth (Shutty). By eck, we had some fun!

Squeeze 6 times, plus Glenn & Chris once each and Jools twice.

This is probably unlikely. However I will ask the question of you and the others who have mentioned Squeeze on this thread

Were any of you there at the 1978 Squeeze gig at Queen Mary College London?
 
I keep records of all sorts of things but numbers of times seeing bands isn't one of them. In hindsight it should be. However, Weller probably comes out on top with around 25 gigs I reckon, although Sea Power must be running that close, as will Billy Bragg.
 
Low -10
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - 8
Love/Arthur Lee - 8
American Music Club -7
The Walkabouts -6
Spain - 5
 
Used to be The Wedding Present...I've seen them 8 times over the years but Shame have taken that title now...great live band...seen them 15 times over the past few years.
 
Richard Thompson well over a dozen times since the early 80's.
The Pirates about 8
Doctor Feelgood in their various guises about the same.
Cattle and Cane about 10.
 
Not sure of exact numbers but double figures for saw doctors, closely followed by the pogues and SLF
 
Easily the band I have seen the most is the Wildhearts ... often filming them, but not always. I must have seen them getting on for 50 times, not just in the UK, but also in Spain and Finland.
Another band I've seen gawd knows how many times would be The Nightingales ... lost count, but then I did manage them way back and have had a close (and working) relationship with them for 4 decades.

Saw Wasted Youth plenty when I was younger. Probably the bands I've seen most in the last 30 years would be The Cribs (lost count) and The Manics (I'd guess 10 to 15). Seen Working Mens club quite a lot in the last 3 years.
