Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I know this won't be popular, but to strike a dissenting note, I've looked at a couple of clips from the concert on YouTube and didn't like either of them. One of them was of Utopia, which is a good song, but that version struck me a…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I'm afraid I have a more pessimistic take on the 'this is our last gig.....' comment. I HOPE I'M WRONG. It has seemed to me, ever since Manchester, that ToU is so perfect that it is going to be extremely difficult, perhaps imposs…

Hi guys. Great show last night. I have put up some photos on my instagram Howiet1971 along with Alisons set list that I managed to get. (I actually had a security man almost drag me half off the stage as I couldn't quite reach it... the show ha…

Shame; this album is crying out for instrumentals like no other.

Dance-wise, I would give much kudos to the bloke in the red T at the front near Angie, who was dancing away on his tod for a long time (was that you, Howiet?). Also to the two women on the opposite corner, in front of me, who got up and started da…

Bristol Colston Hall gig - 1 April 2014
I gotta tell you, of the 8 concerts of theirs I've seen over the years, it was the best I have ever seen them. Everything was spot on. And whilst I really like TOS it's not my favourite; I much prefer 7Tree but this album came to life li…

DELUXE BOX - Updates & information
They should have just rush released the videos, since they leaked. Why wait so long to put them up? Because they're probably trying to sell exclusive rights to a theater chain to display them and make some money from that. It's being a…

Dermot O`Leary Saturday session - BBC Radio 2 - 19 Oct 2013
Something like "Annowbeooowww", right? One of the many, many fascinating qualities of this track, if you ask me. Exactly that - it was a really odd pronounciation and not somethig she does on the CD, thankfully. Lol.

Dermot O`Leary Saturday session - BBC Radio 2 - 19 Oct 2013
I'm yet to hear it, but my friends did (who are fans) and laughed at her pronounciation of 'Annabel'; they said they couldn't get passed it and ruined the song.

Idolator Interview - inspiration for Clay!
Clay is my favourite song off the new album - I instantly loved it live in Manchester; it's the perfect album closer. The letter that inspired it is heartbreaking; I really really hope there is a video to support the song. Alison confirmed ther…

My pleasure... I think I've posted it in the wrong thread, so apologies for that. (I am pre-rempting the pedants who will whinge).

Tales Of Us - The inspirations
"Alvar” was inspired by a trip to Iceland and my obsession with water and myths and legends of Philomena Lee. I read a lot of noir books and I’m a huge fan of European cinema — all these things fed into the narrative of the music and also the n…
