I see what you mean. I enjoyed the performance, but felt a bit... Tense?... Watching it? Perhaps that's just because I'm aware that Dan has left and they must be feeling pretty under pressure. I'm still so surprised, though who kno…

Thanks so much guys - cheers Rewak, I got in there to watch the lot... Oh. My. Word. So, so beautiful, and very moving indeed. God, she was so completely overcome during yellow halo. Understandably so, but that was heartbreaking to watch! I WAN…

They DO!! I finally got through to someone, but cost me a fucking fortune on my mobile & will be complaining about the fact they never responded to my emails etc. If I get told off for being 'wine-d up' tonight, I am blaming them for …

RYANNNNNAAAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRRRR. I'd booked a flight initially, to come over to Dublin yesterday and fly home Monday. As you know, I ended up coming over 4 weeks ago to travel. I simply want to know whether, as I didn't use the inbound fli…

What Are You Eating?
^ I can totally understand that. 100% of my diet was veggie for all that time, and even now it's 98% so, but I had these CRAVINGS. Like, I could NOT get over them so gave in and don't regret it - other than tonight's, not totally unp…

What Are You Eating?
It's true, IT'S TRUE. I have eaten an ENORMOUS pile of amazing BBQ ribs tonight. And it was FUCKING LUSH. I was vegetarian for 16 years, re introduced a little bit of meat every now and then about a year ago - wasn't feeling well…

Oh my GOD HELLS!! I had no idea he was leaving. HE IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND COMPLETELY KEY TO HER SOUND. Particularly live, but I was thinking on this album too... who on EARTH will fill those shoes for this tour?! Crikey. Who on EARTH decide…

Don't know if they'll all that much of a bargain, might be a brighton thing, but I'm very impressed / pleased, as judging by recent times she'll have no trouble selling tickets & I was expecting about 25 quid to be honest. L…

Brighton for me. Got tix this morning. The All saints church is BEAUTIFUL for music - saw Ms O Sullivan do 2 nights there last year in the Brighton festival & it was fabulous. And only 14 quid each ticket - good on you Anna.

How do you feel today?
Missing my chums today. And me mam. Been in Ireland for 4 weeks nearly. It's been amazing and I have had the best experiences, but I have no company in Dublin tonight, for various reasons.. I didn't mind being alone whilst I was travelli…

Ive had a glass of wine. Seriously considering going back for that vinyl! Been wandering and listening all day. 'love of my life' certainly evoking some PJ Harvey kInd of thoughts and feelings. Also, wandering into 'sleater-kinney…

Just had a browse round Tower Records in Dublin - there are 2 options for vinyl. They both have stickers on saying they also both contain download codes yes. The more pricey one has a limited edition art print. It's 32 euros that I don't…

At least 4 of these tracks have 'lezza break up' written all over them. I know she's said some of it was written after a family member passed away, but if the rest of it wasn't inspired by a girlie relationship break down I'…

Haha, fair enough with the indoor gig thing! Somerset house was amazing but the weather was, indeed, taxing....! We were right at the front with no hoods & no chance of putting a brolly up .. But it was certainly a night to remember! Yeah, I …

God, she's selling out all sizes on London venue one after another in minutes! Good on her! I missed that Troxy thing. To be honest, I didn't have a very good experience last time I was there, though I'm sure it'll be a wonde…
