Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
Urgh, tried to find a map of the seating layout in the Dome... not easy. Hopefully this piccy gives an idea of whereabouts most people on here will be sitting (it shows the "stalls" only, not the circle):

Really? Sodding Little Bird and RAWH but no Simone, or Laurel?'Little bird' and RAWH are hugely popular in concert! Nothing wrong with the 2 other songs you mention, but they do have to limit the setlist somehow...

Cheers for report LB! The naming thing is freaky.. in a good way! :-) Did she just casually say "Hey there, is here tonight? How ya doing?"

Wondered if Alison might sport the white YSL suit but back to the black batwing I see. Setlist anyone??

^ It's too late to buy pre-sale/code tickets I think. If you look at the relevant webpage, each gig is now marked as "currently not available".

^ lol. Well how about: It's a non-live broadcast of them playing live. ...hmm... It's a dead broadcast of them playing live. ... Oops, not quite right... It's a dead narrowcast of them playing live?

Phew! I'm getting one via DCBaxter, for the final night. Cheers, dude! Yes, i believe at some point he lost ones he'd marked-up. Stressy.

Kate: "part of the show centres around The Ninth Wave". Sufuckingperb! :-) Someone calculated that there are a total of 13,620 sets of 4 tickets available (ie 54,480 individual tix). But... does anyone know how many of those are earmarke…

I'm not a privileged pre-sale person myself, but came across the relevant e-mail, which explains how they are limiting tix to those long-standing subscribers: We are contacting you as you are eligible to participate in the fan pre-sale for the…

I'll be darned. All this time I thought chuffed meant offended! LOL, not that I know of. The usage i'm familiar with... it just means "very pleased". Although... there is also the odd expression "tighter than a gnat'…

^ Oh, it will not be a new performance. Strictly speaking it shouldn't be billed as 'live' this time. But very much worth seeing (again) :-)

Just had a PM from Lisa Gunning, confirming she will be at the Brighton gig too. :-) Not too surprising, but I'm chuffed she takes the time to respond to me and doesn't think I'm some nutjob. Yes, i am aware that that conclusion doe…

Not sure about anyone else's hoped-for date-to-attend... but David Baxter and myself (via David) are gonna try for the final show (Fri 19 Sept). I think he will also be aiming to snatch the first gig.

Today's deer-mail gives no indication of any UK dates. (But it doesn't say there won't be any.) We wanted to share details of some encore presentations taking place from next week across the US, Canada, France, Poland and The Netherl…

They do seem to be doing things in a logical manner, in terms of ticket allocation. Logical, however, doesn't benefit me. Although I've been buying KB albums since 1978, I never subscribed to the newsletters etc, so no pre-sale code for m…

I got cheeky and asked the lovely Lisa G if she knew any details, and... Hi Elliot..i really don't know at the moment but i'm sure they will post the info on the website as soon as it comes through! fingers crossed it's soon x

Oh, my "edit" was just to move it from the 'News' section to the 'Anything and everything Goldfrapp' section (as it doesn't contain actual news). None of your comment/query was edited.

I work with somebody young enough that they just asked "Who's Kate Bush? Would I know anything by her?" Yeah, I know. Ouch. I'd have thought this barely believable, but a certain Alan who used to post here... has just remarked …

Hmm, there was a Goldfrapp email on 21st Feb (relevant bit below). But that just seems to say there will be encore shows in the US/Canada (25th & 27th). Was there something on twitter about non-north-american encores? FURTHER 'TALES OF US&…

Tech Support... Please help!
Files that contain music (eg MP3 format) can also include data for a picture. I've never heard of "pulling" a picture either. Maybe a typo and meant to say "putting"?

Sorry to hear that news Sally. Understandable you can't make specific plans. Hope you can still enjoy the gig, and as for socialising... just wait and see what feels right at the time... Looks like i'm not going to be in town on the Frida…

I wonder how is Alison taking it? :-( Hopefully she'll be able to sleep OK tonight.
