Wish I had his paper round - very lucrative!

gone at Body and Soul yesterday, my best outdoor festival up to now. I've put the car in an immense parking and recorded the position on the phone to find it at the end. Just after the input gate there was the tents of people camping there, so many ! And the castle as background. Lot of interesting installations, one of which (the Glowhole) I would like to replicate. Beautiful persons wearing costumes.

Many stages, on the main one there was John Grant and then Gary Numan. They both given a great show but when Goldfrapp started Alison showed us how much priceless is the added value of a top quality singer as she is.

The setlist was (can't remind the order):
Utopia
Drew
Clay
Yellow halo
You never know
Lovely head
Thea
Alvar
Little bird
Number one
Ride a white horse
Train
Strict machine

Met Una before the start, she called me from her position in the front row (like me !).

An unknown girl asked my name before the start, I've answered Geeunkurlo ahaha

The evenin was freezing cold, Alison told us during the concert too brrr ! She was looking for somebody in my direction, I waved to her of course (think she is tired to see my face ahaha, sorry)

No internet during the festival arghhhh !!! The phone always invents new malfunctions, this time was "no data line", tried to reboot, to close the connection and open it again but nothing worked ...

Next one is Glastonbury but I can't go because I haven't found a ticket noooo

i will go to Sexto Unplugged in italy on 11th of July, i will keep you posted with pictures and descriptions
;)

Pitch festival tomorrow with Kate Boy, Little Dragon, Moderat, Massive Attack.

^ thanks giulys!

been in Sesto, Trencin, Lublin and at the Medea premiere, few considerations:

Sesto al Reghena
very small town overwhelmed by the event, with the band and the staff everywhere, almost impossible to not meet they or hear the concert ! Alison, the music, the full Moon, the abbey, the nuns, what to ask more ? Really beautiful evening, think I've slept one hour at night so much upside down I was.

Trencin
Superpowered audio equipments and Alison pushing every note more than Callas, what-a-performance ! Seen some fantastic dancers in the audience and a woman teaching to her little girl, dance should be a deep tradition there.
Extremely good prices, got an extraordinary room (an apartment, there was the kitchen too) almost costing like a breakfast.

Lublin
Extraordinary audience ! Seen Thymme Jones following the performance. A castle as background, with somebody following from there. Really long travel until Lublin because the roads are veeery slow ! I had the hotel 200 Km away, near an airport, and did the check in at 3 AM

Medea
Very good music and well related to the scenes. How the actors can remind their parts ? Nice setup with a little forest built as a real one should appear from the interior of an house.

Deutsche autobahn
Exceptional !! They brought me home at a speed unknown before. During the travel I had time to think how things can be done. A road for example: you can throw some tar somewhere and fill it with speed limits and pretend to have done your work. Or, instead, you can build a flat and large and straight way where you can go safe at 200 mph. It's more difficult, and you must work much more but you have really done something useful. The people following the second way are my preferred, I always wanted to be one of those. Like in the music world: you can clone your success and repeat yourself forever, or you can try to do all new and different, like Goldfrapp

yeah! we were able to do that ;)
