Shitsticks , just bought a ticket to see Chvrches that night 5 blinking minutes ago , in the unlikely event of winning a ticket over the plethora of eejits who apply for anything free and will shout "Strict Machine" and fidget during TOU material ...(takes a breath) , then I shalt have a dilemma m`lud . Being due in work at 0630 in Wales next morning is small potatoes . You beat me to posting it Ping :) twas a lovely sight to see on my FB feed this gloomy morning , Chvrch ticket buying was taking my time while I`m procrastilaxing / avoiding the list of jobs I have ....ooh a squirrel New wave diva, wistful folk fairie, 80s pop siren… is there no end to the ever changing image of Alison Goldfrapp? Since 2000’s Felt Mountain, Alison and musical partner Will Gregory have experimented with a variety of musical textures from glam rock to electronic dance music via downtempo folk and retro synths. Five albums on and their latest album ‘Tales Of Us’ returns to the musical landscape of their debut, fusing John Barry-esque cinematic soundscapes with Alison’s distinctive vocals. A big favourite of 6 Music, the band have recently taken control of ‘Now Playing’ and delivered a ‘Three Minute Epiphany’ for Weekend Breakfast. Renowned for their show-stopping live performances, their Maida Vale session will be unmissable

 I have a plan , a good plan , a plan worthy of Rob Planner the Cunning Plan Planner , I park at Bristol and train to London and back to Brizzle , go to Chvrch gig and then back to sunny Cardiff . Hey ho , plan is sorted in the event of a Bizarre Set of Ticket Winning Eventuality Circumstance Scenario .

Will be pulling a sicky that day

@Una , just messaged you . I was miffed about booking the ticket initially until I saw that the Goldfrapp show is a lunchtime show (or dinnertime if you live oop north) , this means in the best case scenario that I "have an Adventure" worthy of Finn on Adventure Time (only without farting penguins etc) . 

On a positive note - I went to a BBC shindig at the Mermaid studios a couple of years ago , all of us that wanted to go from the OMD forum did manage to go (in a practical sense) - due to each application being for two tickets , we shared the love around the board and we all went , there was happiness , singerising and carousing that day . 

see you all there! :)

^ any idea what sort of size audience they get in there? Just wondering how many tix might be available

Rather annoyingly there were empty seats as people just failed to turn up , as its free people just waste tickets for those that want and can go by applying and not caring if they can`t go in reality . I can see plenty of people applying for these and not going as they fail to read the time of the show .
