Booked Noel Gallagher for 10 March and Deep Purple fir 3 December 2015 both at O2 Arena Greenwich. It's barmy that to get a good seat we have to book and pay up front 13 months in advance of the cencert. It's a shed load of cash sitting on some corporate bank account. What more they have the check to charge a hefty booking fee. For what? In the words of Catherine Tate 'What a f***ing liberty'
How does this sound as a set list? Jo Alvar Stranger Laurel Clay Voice thing (Lips Choir) Clowns Some Velvet Morning (feat John Grant) Lovely Head Little Bird Utopia
Yellow Halo Ride a White Horse Train Strict Machine Apart from Clowns and Yellow Halo, I have all these shot on video from gigs over the last 3 years and Appy has the other two, maybe more, but he has not posted on YouTube. We could assemble these as one 'concert' and upload to Youtube or onto Dropbox as not sure if all countries can see the YouTube vids? May give a flavour of a recent Goldfrapp gig for those unlucky enough to have not made it to one. Any interest?

Neneh Cherry at Ramsgate Music Hall next Feb. Venue capacity is around sixty I'd guess and this one is a warm up gig before a UK (and Euro?) tour kicks off. This little East Kent venue is really starting to get noticed and whilst it missed out on this year's NME best small venue, it's so on my doorstep it'd be rude not to stagger home from there whenever the opportunity presents :-)
Ooh that sounds like a venue to keep an eye on. Such discerning fans here. Next gig - Marianne Faithfull at RFH opposite end of scale from Ramsgate Music Hall. Then Anna Calvi at St Johns Hackney.
I dont normally do this many gigs in 4 weeks. Its like GigsXmas round here I tells ya.
John Grant this Sunday at the Festval Hall. It was sold out but they are releasing wheelchair spaces on the front row of the rear stalls, one at a time " includes 1x wheelchair" so I'm hoping it's supplied!
Only heard him once but worth the risk to see if Alison returns the favour....
;I got to speak with her afterwards. That doesn't happen at the O2 or the RAH!
Oh, it does occasionally. I met both Mara and Will at the RAH gig !
