“Exciting news coming next week”
Ok, so I've never used ticketmaster before and i'm trying to get two tickets for Birmingham but there's nothing available, is that because the tickets have already sold out? It seems that the number of presale tix was very limited an…

“Exciting news coming next week”
OK for Bexhill (standing) which will probably be the best gig.... But not London - tickets seemed to be sold out immediately.

That's All Folks!
Hi Nick, Cheers and hope all is well with you both.Yes I still look at the forum now and then, remembering wistfully how good it was before people deserted to FB groups, which are not a good substitute!

Nah, can't do festivals. Short sets, poor sound, possible mud and too many muggles. I'm with you there Nick - festivals are generally poor value money and time-wise. GF now doing 3 festivals in July so hoping there might be a gig or 2 …

Ocean video...
A gig or two in 2018 would certainly help to lift the impending gloom of trump + brexit... I'd rather see a DVD of the Brixton gig than an ocean video. I love the SE album but found the videos underwhelming and not a patch on those for previou…

Seventh Tree 10 year Anniversary
I am considering Some People as a funeral song. Looking at the lyrics, Lovely 2 C U would make a great funeral song (in a good way).

Seventh Tree 10 year Anniversary
I love all of it - for me 7T is the best. It was disappointing at first but such a such a wonderful album once you get into it and so brave artistically - undoubtably they'd have made more money with a Supernature2. I thought it couldn't …

The Cure's 40th universary concert. Guess who are invited
£70 to see Goldfrapp play some distance away or on a screen isn't an attractive proposition unfortunately. As for the other acts, The Cure are an unremarkable band whose only real chart success was 25 years ago. But they (or should I say he as …

My condolences Nick. It's nice that you were close to her and she had a full and active life.

Brighton was brilliant, this review sums it up well http://www.theargus.co.uk/leisure/arts_and_entertainments/15647656.Goldfrapp__Brighton_Dome__November_7________________/ Alison was on great form - a plentiful supply of hot toddies seemed to do th…

Yes tomorrow's Birmingham gig cancelled due to illness. I hope Alison makes a very rapid recovery and the Brighton gig goes ahead

I'm sure that long after we've left the EU, the Mail, Express, Sun and Telegraph will still be blaming those dastardly people in the European Commission for all our ills

I guess I'm surprised by what you say, Nova. I thought the spat was about control of the borders. So, the Tories are stirring up a hurricane in a teacup. I guess that's no surprise. But, then again, I'll never understand the con…

I believe the UK has/had the best of both worlds - we're not in the Euro or the Schengen zone, so we have our own currency and control of our borders while having full access to the single EU market. But because of a spat in the Tory party we&#…

I doubt whether they planned to play Utopia & Moon. They play shorter sets at festivals, missing out most if not all of the slowys

Good to hear that Zodiac Black could be featured in the autumn tour and there will be an Ocean video

Wonderful gig, even the support (Sloes) were good. Alison and the band all in black and the lighting very subdued with little strobing. No dancers on stage. Alison was very energised and gave a wonderful performance though she found the beginning o…

Sorry you can't make it Nick. I'm hoping to be able to report that the set includes Zodiac, Beast and/or Faux, but expect it will be as before. That'll still be good, but more variety even better!

Comment by NovaLasing July 2017 permalink
Which Silver Eye tracks have they yet to play?
They haven't played Faux, Zodiac or Beast yet, and Tigerman was dropped after the first 2 gigs. I'm just hoping for a bit more variation in the set list and we see those 3 (the best on the album imo) featured in the autumn tour:-)

Tory Scum
In the UK you need to invest 5% above inflation in the NHS to keep pace with medical advances and an aging population. Blair/Brown managed 7% and even Thatcher achieved 3% while Cameron/May have managed just 1% increase since 2010, and might not ach…

A big problem in England is that most of the young (under 40s) don't vote. Just the opposite with the old and the dying, who turn up in droves at the polling stations to vote Tory, egged on by the overwhelmingly right wing press
