The Forum Soundtracking Your Sunday Afternoon.
Fantastic selections. You'd all do a great job programming a show. I suspect you may have had the same problem as me - only 28 tracks. I was able to scribble down well over 100 in a few minutes. One issue I had was reconciling long term favouri…

The Knife support Pussy Riot at Pukkelpop in 2013 with bouncing & Goldfrapp. Er, what?
I was at Electric Picnic as well and The Knife's show was simply jaw dropping. Totally unexpected, given the nature of Shaking the Habitual, but I found that the whole thing was so warm, energising and disarming, it'll remain long in the m…

8th June - BBC6Music - Alison Goldfrapp 'Soundtracking Your Sunday Afternoon'
^Good point. That seems to happen from time to time with listings on the website. Don't know why. What a sublime selection of songs. No great surprises but none the worse for that. Alison had highlighted Yma Sumac on a radio show a few years a…

Greenwich Music Time - 21 Aug 2014
That's the mystery at the moment. I'm wondering if we'll get at least 2 support bands given such an early start time,

8th June - BBC6Music - Alison Goldfrapp 'Soundtracking Your Sunday Afternoon'
Alison has voiced a trailer for it. Heard it on 6Music during the Radcliffe & Maconie show. I'm sure she said something about exotic treats as well as 60s soundtracks etc.

Goldfrapp score Medea
An intriguing project. Medea is such a harrowing drama, it'll be interesting to hear the tone of the music. I just wish I knew about it when booking trips to London in July & August. Oh well, at least the live screening is on at my local …

Recent and upcoming gigs
This year has been the most disappointing one I can remember for gigs. In recent years, I would have been to at least a dozen or so by mid-May. In 2014, I've been to 4. But what quality. Anna Calvi & 3 Goldfrapp. But things are looking up…

The Great Escape, Brighton
Many thanks, Tattmaylor. Just started to watch some of these out and both Seachange and Samaris are superb. Look forward to checking out the rest.

St Vincent
The new album may be her best yet & in 'Prince Johnny', she's probably made her most beguiling & accessible song. A mesmerising performance on Friday's 'Later', too, especially those final moments. It's on …

Fine work, Sally. Laura & I are in NE F5&6. Just a couple of seats along from KatRobin :)

The Great Escape Festival, Brighton (not Goldfrapp related)
I was there for 1 day back in 2010, especially to see Katzenjammer. In fact, it wasn't even the whole day as I didn't get in to Brighton until 4.30pm. It was a case of getting to the Queen's Hotel as quickly as I could to exchange my …

After my tribulations in Brighton, I'm playing it safe (I think) and have booked in to the Travelodge. I've never had the problems with them that dcbaxter has had & let's hope that continues.

Glastonbury video 2008 full gig.... Who has it?
I only have the shorter 33 minute excerpt that was broadcast on the BBC Red Button service. Didn't release that the full set was available.

Greenwich Music Time - 21 Aug 2014
It's an early gig too? Listed as 5pm doors instead of usual 7ish. Which suggests there may be a few other bands on the bill. Hopefully some good ones to justify the prices we're paying! I'll be there, as will Laura, sitting in row F…

First gigs
Oh, and welcome! Who did you meet in Brighton? Hi HJ. Appy61 has just pointed out to me the post of photos from The Brighton gig. Unless I am very much mistaken, it was KeithJ_gmb who spoke to me after the gig. Sorry if I bumbled some old crap that …

The Sage, Gateshead - Monday 7th April
Ah I heard her ask, and someone else too but can't remember their name. It was amazing, it went over so, so quick though!! Was there any merch there?? I totally missed it if there was, I ended up at the gift shop thing but then that was it. …

Festivals 2014
Wahoooooo I'm on a high! Just bought tickets for NE block row F! My heart is racing ( partly the excitement, partly the cost, but let's not dwell on that......!). Please, we have never met up with any fellow Frappers, so if anyone wants to…

UK Tour 2014
Have to say this is some of the best sound I have heard from the band during this album "era" if you will....... Glad to read the gigs are so enjoyable for all! I'll second that. A truly memorable series of gigs & Alison's…

Anna Calvi
She's playing a few festivals this summer. I'd like to think there will be more UK dates in the autumn on the back of that.

Goldfrapp at Glastonbury!
The BBC web site was good for streaming the complete sets of many acts last year & I recorded Portishead, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Steve Mason. I have high hopes we'll get the Goldfrapp set this year.

Fab pictures, Elliot. And I relieved to see that the one I took turned out OK. Thank goodness for idiot-proof cameras :)

Enjoy, everybody. You're probably all hearing/watching 'Alvar' as I type.

Pete. There are Glasgow pubs where you can sit and chat or listen to good music and there's nobody having a fight outside. Sorry I didn't take you to one! Will do better in future :)

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - 04/04/2014
Absolutely stupendous. My third gig in the past week & the quality of the performance (and the sound) never wavers. A good seat in the third row and amazingly the one in front of somebody I've been conversing with on Twitter. Yes, Rewak, I…

Have seen the stage times. It is an 8.30 start but it says 10.15 finish. Given that previous gigs were only 80-90 minutes, I'll be heading off hoping that we get more songs. Unlikely, but a tantalising prospect.

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall - 04/04/2014
I saw that & have my doubts especially as Angie mentioned 9pm on her FB page. I should be there before 8.30 just in case.

It's tonight.:) Fittingly, the bad weather is due to clear and the sun expected to put in an appearance.

^Got mine in the pre-sale. Not quite as good as 2008 when I was in the second row, right in the middle. AlexF was selling tickets for rows A, B and C but they're just single ones. You're in for a treat when you see Wonderful Electric. Rec…
