My Sister says she will pay for me to either go a football match or a concert for my Birthday in December. Shes doing it because i have had a torrid few months. Tickets will have to be on general sale. I am thinking about asking her to just get me 2 for Ellie Goulding in March.
Oh anyday. The one Frapp gig i went in 2010 will probably be the only one i will have ever been to. Due to different reasons. As for Ellie Goulding. I know a few who think she is ok. But everyone likes the Anything can happen track.
Recent gigs: Martha Reeves & the Vandellas @ Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh and Devon Sproule @ Letham Village Hall.
Pumajaw @ Summerhall, Edinburgh (playing some songs from films including Kiss Me Deadly, Johnny Guitar and Night of the Hunter). Superb.
Last weekend: Electric Picnic festival in Ireland which included 4 absolutely stunning performances from Bjork; The Knife; David Byrne & St Vincent; Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters.
This month: Caro Emerald @ Glasgow Concert Hall. Melanie Pain @ Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh.
Debating whether or not to get a ticket for Mindless Self Indulgence at the end of the year...part of my heads argument against is im too old for it and won't have the energy, and that depresses me on so many levels, and then fuels the part of my mind that loves an argument to get a ticket and prove myself wrong. :-<
I'm going to Anna Calvi tonight as well! Yippee! It's gonna be an intimate affair and a first listen to her new album..... LIKE MANCHESTER AGAIN BUT NOT FOR GOLDFRAPP.
Actually. I've just realised I don't have a ticket... Shite. Hoping I opted for pick up at the venue?..... Best check that now.....
^ I won't be leaving work until 4.30 so by the time I get to navigate my way round all the roadworks in the shite shire here, will be hopefully about 6.30 to get to the venue. As long as there's a toilet there I'll be fines - nerves and excitement =P~
Did you hear 'Sing to Me', a little taster from the album? She posted it on the show page on FB. I think this whole 'I'm keeping it all secret from you then playing the whole thing in one go in a beautiful setting' thing is such a great idea. Thank you goldfrapp and thank you Anna!!
Without question, my second favourite gig of the year (after Manchester night 2)
Anna Calvi can play a guitar like no one I've ever seen love, other than Jack White, probably... The TALENT in that woman. Her whole band actually, make for one incredible trip.
The new album is AWESOME. it sounded amazing live, and it will be a treat to purchase it on October 7th. Interspersed with tracks from the first album - desire, suzanne and I, I'll be your man... But 'love won't be leaving' my personal favourite. Standing 4 feet away from her, she looked so happy and relaxed, even though they were playing the new ones for the very first time.
Absolutely blew me away.
And fabulous to have shared it with the lovely Hells_Bells. Grand to see you love!! Hope you got home safe xxx
