Rescheduled gigs for Felt Mountain 20th anniversary tour
I thought I'd forgotten my password but it was there, somewhere in the memory bank! The current tour is a joy and hearing songs again that they hadn't played for around 20 years has been magical, aided by a truly wonderful sound mix (thank…

Angie Pollock
It's a mystery to us all. She hasn't said anything about it on her Facebook page. Her recent postings have been about a show with a producer called Mike Bennett. It may just be a radio show, though. The postings don't make much sense!

That was enjoyable, wasn't it? A bit haphazard given that Alison was trying to deal with the flood of questions and comments as they arrived (around 4,500 from many of the 1,000 or so viewing) but no matter. Mind you, it would be nice to have …

UK Tour Dates
I thought things were going smoothly on the Music Glue site this morning until I clicked the payment button. After a few seconds, I got an error message, so started the whole booking again (for Glasgow, Brighton and Brixton). This time I got a confi…

Goldfrapp confirmed for Glastonbury 2017
They're actually playing tonight (Sunday) at 7pm. The set will be streamed on the BBC web site/iplayer and will be available for a month after this. I'm sure someone will capture it and make sure it's available to those who can't…

Glasgow gig 24th March
I have a spare ticket for the Glasgow gig this Friday. If interested let me know but note that due to work commitments and travel, I wont get to the venue until 7.30. Well after the doors open and you may miss Future Islands but still time to see S…

Yes, we marked the occasion of Anne Marit's birthday with the balloons & party popper at the beginning of the set. She was touched. The last time the band played at the Scala was on her birthday back in 2012 and we got her a big cake. As ye…

Thanks for posting the video, gst. Not too much of me doing my dad dancing thang, fortunately! Unlike some other clips uploaded to YouTube. Someone's actually recorded every song from the gig. The quality isn't as good as yours but it make…

Invitations - working but max of 5 each
I last sent out an invitation on February 22nd (to amonarch87) and it was accepted. So presumably any problems have arisen since then.

Bat for Lashes
Start with the first album 'Fur & Gold'. It can be heard on YouTube & streaming sites.

Your All Time Fave Goldfrapp track...album, b-side or other
Pilots. Many songs have come close but I suspect this will always be my favourite. Still enormously affecting after all these years.

MIF Albert Hall ticket (Thursday)
At least the sound quality is better than the picture. Interesting how they've spliced together different camera angles to create the finished article. YouTube videos can be frustrating when you've got just one perspective taken from an aw…

Happy 2015!!!
Happy New Year, everybody. I hope 2015 is good for you even without any new Goldfrapp music to savour. (Apologies for not having any embarrassing photos or pictures of strippers/dancers to share!)

Best Albums of 2014
I haven't bought as many albums as in past years & now use Spotify to check out promising ones before committing to a purchase. Just as well, as my album collection is packed with many I rarely, if ever, listen to now. I expect I'll be…

'Three wise women' - Radio 6Music - 26 Dec 2014
Now available on the iPlayer with a full track listing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04vr1b9 A wonderful show. Just like the show back in June, it has that wonderful, dreamy, mood. I've got around 45% of those songs but will be getting mo…

Anna Calvi
I wish I'd travelled down on the off-chance of getting a ticket. Quite a few were being punted on Twitter. Started the year with an Anna Calvi gig & it would have been great to finish it with another. Ah well. Looking forward to the DVD any…

Little Dragon @ ABC in Glasgow last night were superb. This Saturday: John Grant with the Royal Northern Sinfonia @ Usher Hall, Edinburgh. I'd like to think Alison puts in a guest appearance as well :)

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
A video on You Tube doesn't adequately capture the sound as we experienced it on Tuesday. From where I was sitting, it was immaculate and I've never heard Alison sound so crystal clear.

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
It was a very, very special night, wasn't it? I must admit that I didn't expect any great surprises, assuming that it was simply a way to round off the Tales of Us era (starting off at the Albert Hall with orchestra & choir; finishin…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I must be even more frustrating for A_is_A with all these tickets available. Una has one, too. There's a thing, Mark. Perhaps you and Una should collaborate. There may be a better chance of selling 2 tickets for adjacent seats on @twickets th…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Interstellar It didn't feel long & I liked the way it was paced. It also had just the right balance of science/science fiction & human drama/emotional charge.

How was St Vincent? I saw her back in August and the best words I can think of are mesmerising, intense and absolutely thrilling. Others have mentioned their thoughts in the St V thread http://www.goldfrapp.com/forum/discussion/1417/st-vincent/p1 …

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Dreeke & Marlou found this place: http://1lexhamgardens.com/index.php Astoundingly cheap for central London so I've booked a room there too. When I was in London for the Kate Bush I went by the place. A 5 minute walk from Earls Court tube…

John Grant
I'm recording it and saving it for later as I'm going to see him, backed by the Royal Northern Sinfonia, in Edinburgh next month. Caught the two tracks on the Radcliffe & Maconie show and they sounded mighty. They really whet the appe…

Kate Bush - Before the Dawn - WARNING - CONCERT SPOILERS!
I went on Friday night with ping, Drew, Big Bird, Laura, Halloween Jack, DC Baxter & a couple of others (who weren't Alison & Lisa!) and it's fair to say it was a highly emotional experience. Fortunately, I'd managed to avoid…
