8/10 reviews in both NME (who gives a shit, I know, but it's good to read such appreciation for the new stuff) & in Uncut. Just listened to 'suddenly' for the first time since hearing it live. ITS AMAZING. I really love it. M…

How far have you traveled to see Goldfrapp?
I went from London to Amsterdam to see them do a show with massive attack, seventh tree era time. That's the furthest, though have clocked up a fair few uk miles i guess, aside from a bunch of London shows - Manchester (x 4!) , Bristol, Oxford…

Hammersmith Apollo - 1st Nov 2013 - Who went ?
Hi folks. I'm travelling at the moment so not on line all the time, but I've got one more guest list place for this show (only just got confirmation so only now able to say) but if anyone didn't get a ticket / couldn't afford it…

Oh really? I'll be in the middle of Ireland... Will try and find somewhere I can tune in. Mind you.... Should probably just keep those lovely memories of the London show in my head :D

How do you feel today?
Amazing. Just cycled 24 miles in Killarney National Park. Completely beautiful. Next to Ross Castle, south of Killarney town. (tomorrow I suspect I won't be able to walk. But going to attempt horse riding!)

What's The Weather Like?
It hasn't rained for 2 days, it's sunny and pleasant... And I'm in IRELAND. Ireland. Got to enjoy it while this lasts. *jumps in the lake* (I'm aware I have now 'tempted fate' but i had to come and express my delig…

Seafood chowder by the harbour in Kinsale, right on the south of Ireland down from Cork. Absolutely blooming delightful. Can practically see the fishermen getting these scrumptious little elements out of the water and popping them in the pot. With…

^ you must have a really excellent, authentic food shop near you Carpy, for all those lovely things you make that I've never heard of ;) I'm having a bowl of noodles in wagamama. For all it's great points (amazing people, interesti…

Oh Crikey. I don't think I'd go that far... There are plenty of other ladies to enjoy hahaha ;) (but would def lose body parts / limbs for a few of them!)

So hungover. I'm supposed to be doing this whole 'healthy' thing whilst I'm away.... But when in a gay bar cork and you meet a camp gay guy called Cian O Sullivan and his 6 foot Amazonian hottie mate Antonia, there ain't go…

If I may.. Anna is of the.. Umm... Girl appreciation legue herself. As am I. But this is about The fact she is an incredibly talented musician right here.... Totally that.

Fan encounters with Alison
I've met Alison twice. It's too painful to talk about the second time... ;) As someone who has spent time with TONS of 'famous' people and performers in life, because of my jobs, and never found myself star struck or giddy... it…

I'm in Cork. With an Irish breakfast, endless tea & my books... It is raining. I am happy.

Fair enough Dreeke. She certainly wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea! (now back off out of the appreciation thread... ;) :D )

Haha, she's performing as part of the Dublin international fest whilst I am there - doing 'the rape of lucrece' Shakespeare which she did last year in Edinburgh. I am.. Umm.. Seeing the show.. And, seeing her. Whilst I am there..

Ahh ali. Ahh. Camille. Ahh Anna. It's hard to be fighting off all these women ;) In all truth, I'm flying off to Ireland tomorrow for 5 weeks of a total adventure.... Exploring, swimming, walking, surfing.. Some Guinness, I am scared …

Teeny weeny pocket sized Anna... *sigh* Still so happy about last night. What a special occasion. I got hooked on the 'love won't be leaving' live videos for ages. To see her play that full on guitar solo, when she's in her…

She sure does. A voice of that much power, while faultlessly and brilliantly playing guitar is rare I'd say. (and she is so hot) .... SORRY. I HAD TO SAY IT. What was she like? She seems like she would be so cool and down to earth, the wa…

Thank you! I suspect she will do many more shows over the next year - as this was literally the first outing, and it's out October 7th... She will be out and about playing a lot I imagine. I know.... The 'urgency' thing.... It reall…

Haha. Well, she does like to tell a story! In akk her songs actually.. But I would say the new stuff sounds more.... Urgent.... Than her first album (and it's certainly way louder than anything on TOU!!) her vocals play even more of a part i…

^ she did indeed play 'the devil'. With the beautiful back drop of clouds and coastline lit all in red... It sounded awesome. Her drummer, Dan, makes the live shows as much as her guitar playing does. He is incredible, particularly on t…

Without question, my second favourite gig of the year (after Manchester night 2) Anna Calvi can play a guitar like no one I've ever seen love, other than Jack White, probably... The TALENT in that woman. Her whole band actually, make for one…
