Reading Hexagon gig - 2 April 2014
I agree about the set - I love having most of the TOU songs grouped together at the beginning, and the way they are lit, it just looks and sounds soooo beautiful.. Then its almost like you're suddenly in another show after Little Bird and we c…

Reading Hexagon gig - 2 April 2014
Hahahaha. Brilliant night, brilliant gig - she seemed worried about the sound during the first few songs, made a couple of comments? But I agree, it sounded great! Thank you Rach for my guide to the station. Lovely to see you, always. Thank you B…

UK Tour 2014
Brighton was so completely amazing, I can't leave it at that... Soooo, gonna go to reading on Wednesday. I love the lighting for these shows - the way the spotlights are during the TOU songs, and how it builds, and the colours, as the set goes …

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
Haha. That would be ideal!! I've actually already taken 1 taxi - I think I only took about 3 taxis in the 5 years that I lived here. I'll be beating that this weekend then clearly ;)

Film & Live perf (cinema simulcast) - 4 Mar 2014
Yup. The clapham picture house is showing it, I'll go to that one. Though the other picture house cinemas might as well, but it's not showing on the listings for the Brixton ritzy or Hackney... http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Claph…

'Tales of us' film & Q&A - 18 Jan 2014
Yeah, sounds like a mass screening of the films in many cinemas, with live music in real time.. Actually I didn't really understand but will probably be completely brilliant. Lisa sounded excited about it, but cagey at the same time. And, guy…

'Tales of us' film & Q&A - 18 Jan 2014
Okey doke, no problem. I'm likely to ask nothing at all. I actually have dispised almost every audience Q&A I've ever been in the room for, for anything - CRINGE - so hoping tonight restores my faith in that as a 'thing' ...

Just on way up town. Meeting a friend before ICA, will try not to have too many wines. HA. Anything anyone wants to add to my 'list of possible questions you could possibly ask Lisa without sounding like a moron?'

'Tales of us' film & Q&A - 18 Jan 2014
oh yes. I do think I may attend this. should be really interesting, and I'd love to see the films on a big screen. that 'I Am Dora' looks worth pursuing as well. Nice one.

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
She described it as an "anti juke box movie" - it is her music through the years, with some narrative, but also it goes off on tangents of completely surreal moments (a 65 year old stripper cow girl with a great big black dildo for example…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
She's ever so entertaining. Actually Saturday was ace as there was a screening of her film "peaches does herself", then a q&a with her, then the gig. Really fun, even though the audience questions were fucking embarrassing. I h…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
I was at the Dome last night and was typically vile in my behaviour. It was to see Peaches so I think her and vile behaviour go hand in hand. Its still the best place in town for a musical night out (I've warned them about March......) ;)
