Okay, so here are my belated grumpy notes:

Turning up at 7am was rather pointless as second person (NovaLasing) only turned up around 9am, and first non-fan appeared around 10am (so one hour before the doors).

The organisation outside of the studio was pretty good, however once inside the studio it was rather shit >:P - first they tried to put the people who went in first (aka those who waited the longest) to the very side of the stage, then I was moved to the left of the front row because I was too tall and blocked the cameras (what kind of amateur camera setup is that?), then I was shifted to the right of the front row because they wanted fans to ask questions (myself included) and the lighting was crap on the left, then people who stood on the right before us started complaining that they can't see anything so I was asked to move back and let the gnomes in front of me - that's when I went berserk and refused to move yet again. They then did the right thing and moved them elsewhere. Phew.

Oh yes, question - so the rather nice researcher lady quizzed us when we stood outside the studio on what questions we would want to ask Goldfrapp and then chose myself, NovaLasing, Peter Jeffries, and some other lady (who weren't in the queue) to ask questions. The plan was to have Goldfrapp play 2 songs, answer 2 questions (from NovaLasing and that other lady), play 2 more songs, answer 2 more questions (from me and Peter), and then play final 3 songs. But of course the final 2 questions weren't asked because they ran out of time - which is actually for the better as my questions was rather shit ("What is the inspiration behind Thea and will it be played live?"). However that also meant that the annoying interviewer stood right in front of me for the first 4.5 songs! I'd imagine he expected me to move because when he squeezed in front of me we stood really close - but of course I didn't move at all, breathing at his neck all the time, and touching his bum each time I had to put my hands up or down (what can I say, nice bum...) - so after a few glances back he moved away and let me enjoy the rest of the performance unobstructed.

Unobstructed right in time for the Yellow Halo... poor Alison, I wanted to cry so badly at that moment :-( :((

But anyway, regardless of the struggle, the gig itself was great - perfect sound and great selection of songs. Anything else does not matter! And what a great taster for the next week too.

P.S. I look like a right weirdo when NovaLasing spoke to the camera... ouch.
