Goldfrapp score Medea
Saw the encore screening at my local theatre tonight. Like everyone else, I thought it was a stunning performance by Helen McCrory, She perfectly captured the rage, anguish and steely resolve of the character. I have some reservations about aspects…

My local film theatre isn't showing the live screening tomorrow but we're getting an encore screening on Saturday. That suits me fine.

KATE BOY - UK tourdates
Hope so too. I surely wouldn't miss a chance to see them again. Please say hi to Kate, Marcus and Hampus from me if you get the chance... ;) I didn't but really enjoyed their set. They certainly got the crowd dancing & it was a decen…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
That was a real lottery this morning wasn't it? When the options came up, I immediately went for Arena & 4 tickets. Allocated Block F, Row 10, seats 19-22. No time to check these out so I just purchased them. Luckily, we're close to th…

Fine contributions indeed. I'll be seeing her at Electric Picnic this weekend :)

They're playing at the Electric Picnic festival this weekend. I'll hopefully get to see them.

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I'm just wondering if there will be a seat selection option on the pre-sale or if we'll have to chance our luck with 'best available'.

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Ideally: A special gig for those on the mailing list only. On a Saturday. In Manchester, where ToU was launched. We can all stay at the Mitre again :) Probably: A DVD featuring one of the filmed gigs. Albert Hall perhaps.

Angie Pollock
^ I'd like to think so. I'd also like to think when the Retro Futura tour offer came along, she agonised about it, knowing that she'd have to miss a few Goldfrapp gigs. After discussing things with Alison, she decided to take up the…

Great pics and videos UT so thanks for posting. They'll help whenever I need a pick-me-up. Looking forward to seeing KatRobin's pics too.

A brilliant night, indeed despite some annoying cretins in the audience. @Minsku - I hope you will come back to the UK for special occasions. The Manchester International Festival gigs last year, for example, were unforgettable and the audience was …

I've got the attendance list & will be taking the register ☺ DC Baxter will be taking the class photo.

Thanks for the updates. That final photo that Softlad posted will be close to the view that Laura & myself will have (we'll be 3 or 4 rows back from that seat). According to the BBC Weather web site, there's a chance of a shower aroun…

Kate Bush (general)
Really looking forward to the documentary and the Hammersmith gig - 4 weeks on Friday. Not exactly a tour. Just think of it as a date :)

The only ones who have confirmed that they've got the VIP 'meal deal' are Caravan Girl, Giancarlo, Katrobin & Catherine, Mode Devotion, Laura & myself. I suspect there are more. I can't remember if getting a seat near the…

Just wondering who has got the VIP tickets that gets you the wine reception & 3 course meal? Apparently I have! I had completely overlooked this when booking. All I was looking for was seats near the front!! Just found out about all these othe…

Angie Pollock
Another interpretation. Something happened in Angie's world that is private. It happened possibly on or just before the 24th as the message went out on the 25th of the Copenhagen cancellation. Angie play Lyon Les Nuits on the evening of the 25t…

17031978 Cheers, Rob. I remember you sent me these as rar files way back when & I'm damned if I know what happened to them. So good to hear them again.

I went to see "Boyhood" yesterday, thanks to a KeithJ's recommendation on Twitter.I actually didn't know the special characteristic of this film until it was like half of the movie and thought "what the... are the actors act…

Premiere of 'Tales of us' at Manchester Int Festival, July 17/18 2013
In the absence of a DVD, I shall content myself with the audio from that night and wallow in all the wonderful memories.

'Tales of us' Deluxe (new release - 30 June 2014)
from Arts Alliance: I have spoken to the label and currently there are no plans to release the content on DVD although hopefully if the film passes iTunes strict production guidelines it should be available to buy digitally shortly. So those of us …

Recent and upcoming gigs
You might want to check out Elliphant, Keith. Missed them, I'm afraid, as they were on at the same time as The Amazing Snakeheads (the best performance I saw all weekend). Next weekend, I'm at another couple of events with some gems amon…

Television....
The Honourable Woman About to watch episode 2 on BBC2. It isn't really a programme for the summer months as it features spies, middle-eastern politics, dark deeds and deception but it's developing nicely and Maggie Gyllenhaal is excellent…

T in the Park festival this weekend. I've been going to this for 20 years now & this may possibly be my last. The line-ups have got progressively weaker in the past 5 years & this year it's dramatically so. Not helped by the fact …

Jo :) Looks like we'll be getting the indoors set list (very different from the recent Body & Soul and Glastonbury sets)

Montreux Festival - live stream - 9 July 2014
The web site lists tonight's bill as Sohn, London Grammar and Goldfrapp. LG are on as I type 21.04 BST. I'm hoping Goldfrapp are on next.

Goldfrapp at Glastonbury!
A mighty fine performance & great watching the live stream. It was a little surprising that only 2 songs from ToU were included. I thought they might have started with 'Drew' if they felt that 'Jo' wasn't best suited to …

'Tales of us' Deluxe (new release - 30 June 2014)
I, too, was disappointed & dismayed at the news. After all the money spent on the films & cinema event, you would think that they'd want to recoup as much as possible. This is hardly the way to do it. Given the track record in releasi…

The Forum Soundtracking Your Sunday Afternoon.
UT. The fact that you picked SOS made me smile. That'd feature in my alternative 'Soundtrack' list as it's the first single I bought with my own money. As I mentioned, so much of my selection in this thread is bound up in my lif…

Twenty Feet from Stardom An Oscar winning documentary about some of the backing singers that were so important to the sound of many great songs but are recognised by few. Darlene Love is probably the most well known but there must be many, like me,…
