    second all the heat dress code n water advice. it really is a shocker inside folks. i'm taking a more laid back approach tonight not q'ing beforehand and not heading for the barrier front. anyhow it'll be good to get the gig from a different perspective. that stage is high!

    Hey, nice to meet you ;)

    I think it would be easier if we will wear forum badges for future gigs :-D

    I'm here ok but enjoying chilled drinks in the hotel bar, shopping and some nice chat. It's great having a whole bunch of Frappers around in one place for a while :)

    Thank you all you wonderful peeps for posting pics and your reviews of the show. So jealous here in Boston. A few of the pics made me gasp ! Just gorgeous and I can only imagine what it sounded like. Can't wait for them to come across the pond.

    Not much I can add to all the superlatives. It was a fantastic evening and I liked the understated nature of many of the new songs, beautifully augmented by the orchestra. I've said this before but Goldfrapp albums remind of films/film genres and my first reactions is that the likes of 'Drew' suggest French dramas about tragic/lost love whereas the likes of 'Laurel' (my other favourite0 suggests American film noir a la LA Confidental, the Black Dahlia and Chinatown. More ideas may come to me tonight and, of course, when we finally get the hear the album.

    Great to hear the likes of 'Clowns', Paper Bag' and 'Little Bird' with the string section. Some compensation for not being able to go the Cecil Sharp House gig.

    Being in the company of old friends and new from the GMB in to the wee small hour made it even more special and a night to cherish.

    Must log off now. Not long until tonight's gig :)
