Now that's what i call intimate - just 30 people squeezed into the tiny studio with la Frapp. Just imagine if those 30 were the GMB regulars! *sigh*

Body & soul.., http://nialler9.com/bodysoul-festival-first-names-goldfrapp-caribou-mount-kimbie-darkside-john-grant/ I'm sorely tempted. The Body & Soul arena at Electric Picnic is truly wonderful so a whole festival with that vibe wo…

Are you edinburgh way Keith? Ive a feeling you were west coast, like dear Angie No, I'm east coast. Fife is the county just across the Forth Bridge. I'll be in Edinburgh virtually every day after the wedding as I usually see lots of Frin…

Television....
^ I know quite a few people who have seen most episodes of 'True Detective' so I'm avoiding their tweets. Episode 1 just screened on Sky Atlantic last Saturday & was compelling stuff. I'll be watching every week.

Radcliffe and Maconie - Radio 6 music - 26 Feb 2014
I wish they'd asked her about the challenges of putting on a gig with no audience that's being beamed around the world, about film ideas for the other songs on ToU and about plans for the rest of the year. I'm sure they've asked …

No. Im in Scotland So am I. My usual situation, of course, but my sister is getting married around that time so I have to remain here.

What`s the last film you watched ?
Lady Windermere's Fan The 1925 silent version of Oscar Wilde's play was showing at my local film theatre last night, with a live musical accompaniment. A hugely enjoyable night's entertainment.

^ Yes, Bruce Dern has been nominated and deservedly so. Fabulous performance in a wonderful film. Other Oscar nominees are Matthew McConaughey & Jared Leto for 'Dallas Buyers Club' which I saw yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyable. Commenda…

I see even more UK cinemas have been added these past few days, including the Odeon in Dunfermline which is the one nearest my home. However, I've already bought a premium priced ticket for the Cameo in Edinburgh! Aaargh. The one saving grace…

A fantastic peformance from Anna & her band at The Arches in Glasgow last night. I wont say much about it for now, given that so many have gigs coming up. To whet your appetite, though, let me say that her delivery of 'Bleed Into Me' i…

'Once upon a time there was a pretty fly' (MIF intro)
Yes, it's a truly magnificent film. Gripping story and made with such flair. A pity the critics at the time were so cruel and Charles Laughton never directed another film. Incidentally, the song 'Hush' that kicks in around 4mins, is …

Recent and upcoming gigs
^You've done well in recent weeks :) There's been nothing I've wanted to see here & little on the horizon either (Goldfrapp excepted). The worst situation I can remember for years. Usually I'd have 5 or 6 booked by now. Howe…

I don't know if that helps or hinders, but the management definitely didn't think people would be buying tickets yet, and I think that probably goes some way to explaining why the 'launch' hasn't really happened the way they…

I was at the Cameo, in Edinburgh, yesterday and they confirmed that it will be showing on the main screen. The woman at the box office also told me that they'd sold 30 tickets to members in the past week so no worries about getting one on Monda…

'Inside Llewyn Davis' Although there are things to admire about the Coen Brothers' films, I can't say I'm much of a fan. I find their style too arch & too fond of indulging their love of bizarre characters and situation…

We're lucky to have 3 cinemas in Edinburgh to choose from. Although it doesn't have an underground car park, I'll be going to the Cameo - my favourite cinema. Surprised to see Thurso on the list. The smallest, most far-flung place in…

Matt Berry
I remember him featuring on the Radcliffe & Maconie show last year & was intrigued. There was a flavour of Mike Oldfield to one or two of the songs I heard. Sounded good. Must check out the album.

I went to see 'Valerie & Her Week of Wonders' at the cinema. A Czech film, released in 1970, it's a surreal, fairy-tale/gothic horror/coming-of-age tale that's both bizarre and beautiful. ^ I saw Valarie... years ago a…

Alison chats to Lauren Laverne - 20 Jan 2014
Alison mentioned that she was involved in filming some of the landscapes in Lanzarote today. I wish Lauren had asked her what that was for. Video for 'Thea' perhaps?

The Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh (part of the Picturehouse Group) is showing it. Tickets went on sale today for members and their web site states that the general sale is from Monday 27th January. I don't fancy paying £30 to become a member so I&…

Finally got to see Before Midnight. Probably the most anticipation I have felt for a film for many years. So at the end some people may see that last section as a bit over the top, but I can tell you that whole senario has happen exactly like that…

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
I'm booked in to the Hotel Neo. Perhaps there'll be a Matrix-like experience! Should get there between 3pm and 4pm. A night out with everyone who's in town will be just the thing :)

Not yet. No indication as to when they'll be despatched but plenty of time for that.

Brighton Dome gig - 29 March 2014
I doubt if everything would be booked up that weekend but the earlier you book, the more choice you'll have, I would think. I've started researching the options. Haven't found a hotel named after me so will have to make do with one o…

I've still to book my hotel for Brighton (& Manchester) as well as my transport but will do so this week. It's this sort of thing that makes the first week in January more bearable!

American Hustle, see it, it's fantastic! http://youtu.be/NqgjPRNRDSY I'll second that. Absorbing story and some absolutely fantastic performances. If Amy Adams wins an Oscar, it'll be thoroughly deserved.
