    Finally chance to catch a breath - really, really amazing! New material a lot to take in but pretty spectacular with a truly scrumptious amount of string action. Stone big moments indeed.

    Seeing the older stuff with strings, a choir AND WILL ON STAGE was just staggering. Some of the best live versions of those tracks ever.

    Will post properly in the morning as too busy grinning now :D

    Roll on tomorrow night - can't come quick enough!

    Amazeballs. :D

    on a more shit note I have no idea where we are going on the m6.
    How many roadworks does anyone need?

    it was a proper lovely gig. Sounded great. Alison only restarted one song. Love the new album then. Lovely to meet up witj so many frappers as I dont often get time. Lovely church. Bit of a shit hole in places. Loos mostly. The getting into the building bit was wank they separated some of us. Put us in the bar area. Such abuse. Had to buy a drink ;) before this they said they had to sign our tickets. I got a bit stressed n shouty. Got in fine the bar is on a different level to the concert hall.

    will was on stage for a good few songs. Didnt get many pics as photo Nazis were about. It was soooo lovely.

    . Weve been diverted to somewhere off thr m6 now. Help. Bit lost. appear to be in birmingham.
    We all look better in the dark.

    Audience laughter.
    "Um it's actually quite serious, so I'd appreciate if you didn't all laugh!"
    Even more audience laughter.
    Alison trying not to laugh. My favourite moment from the gig ( and that's a gig that blew my mind with a choir singing Clowns in top of a beautiful new album) showing Alison's warmth and humour and modesty. No more ice queen. Love her.
