UK Tour Dates
I'm going to all 8. Couldn't resist. Having only discovered the magic of GF about 5 or 6 years ago it's downright painful to think of all the fabulous gigs I could easily have gone to if I'd made the connection with their incredi…

Somerset House Summer Series
And another Goldfrapp ticketing farce. Doesn't exactly pay to be a loyal fan. I'm getting sick of this treatment.

Oxford gig - March 20th
I'll be setting off for Morse-land in about an hour. It's going to be a hectic eight days as I'm fortunate enough to be going to all 5 shows. An exhausting and exciting prospect. Hope everyone has a fabulous time. Once more unto the b…

Glasgow gig 24th March
Halle-blinkin'-lujah! I've managed to get a ticket for Glasgow! After the re-sale rip-off surrounding the Roundhouse show my hopes weren't high for me succeeding with this much-hyped (like every 30 seconds on R6M!) event. But dame for…

You have a PM :) Just seen it, thank you. :)

Roundhouse gig - March 27th
Thanks, Ultrauk. I've never heard of Twickets but I'll certainly check them out.

Roundhouse gig - March 27th
Well, what a rollercoaster of a week that has been: the highs of pre-ordering the album (on both CD and vinyl, naturally), endlessly listening to 'Anymore' and eagerly anticipating buying tickets for all four gigs... followed by the lows (…

I was on the front row too and it was a bit of a strain on the neck. And a dirty great big monitor did block my view of one of the players. Oh well. It's still always nice, whether sitting or standing, to be as up close and personal as possible.

I saw the splendid Mr. G and his Moog Ensemble at Birmingham town hall last night. It was certainly... different. The evening (part of the experimental music and arts Supersonic Festival) was introduced by none other than Radio 6 Music DJ par excell…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Sadly, I wasn't able to make it to the get together at The Queens Arms - I was otherwise engaged wasting four and a half hours of my life freezing my bits off at the RAH stage door. (A surprisingly solitary vigil - I was on my Jack Jones for th…

Cheers, Jack. My seat is Arena B Row 13 Seat 17. Hope to make the acquaintance of some of my fellow fans at the Queens Arms. I'll be sporting the 'Tales Of Us' tee from last November's Apollo show.

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
If y'all don't mind a relative newbie in your midst (having been a GF devotee for only a paltry two and a half years) I'd like to join you at said public house. You can thoroughly depress me by regaling me with tales of all the fabulo…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Received my first ticket today from Stargreen. Well, actually it was the second ticket I ordered. The first was direct from the RAH via the 'fan pre-sale' - which has yet to put in an appearance. As it was a decidedly disappointing stalls …

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
Just so long as I don't get mine the day before the show - as was the case with the Greenwich gig. Boy, was I ever relieved when the courier showed up! That kind of stress I can well do without, thank you very much.

Charlie Jones
I saw 'em several times on that tour, including the RAH. (John Valentine Carruthers was their guitarist at that juncture.) The gig at the Nottingham Royal Centre on 05/11/85 stands out in particular for a decidedly surreal incident. A group of …

Charlie Jones
Cheers, UT. He did indeed comment about the tee - very positively, I might add. He thought it was great and kept pointing it out to everyone. It's kind of hard to describe his music. There's certainly a jazz element to it but it's clo…

What are you listening to now?
Charlie Jones' album 'Love Form' in anticipation of seeing him performing in Bath tomorrow night.

alison on 6 music 29/8/14
We have Radio 6 Music on all day at the office but somebody started the rather noisy document folding machine just before Alison was about to come on so I swiftly plugged a pair of headphones into my PC and listened to her words of wisdom that way. …

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I opened up multiple Google pages on my PC at work so I could dash back and forth between Ticketmaster (or perhaps that should be Toutmaster!), Gigsandtours, See Tickets, Stargreen and the RAH itself. Boy, did things happen fast at 9AM! As everybody…

Royal Albert Hall - 18 Nov 2014
I was almost frantic by the time 9AM came round after barely sleeping a wink last night. (Why do I put myself through this torture? Adoration of Goldfrapp, perhaps?) I was there on the dot like a shot and yet everything was gone except a few stalls …

Greenwich Music Time - 21 Aug 2014
Glad to see I'm not the only one pee'd off with the incredibly disrespectful behavior of so many members of the audience last night. They can't possibly be Goldfrapp fans. I was on the front row (for which I'd paid heftily) and t…

What are you listening to now?
My current listening pleasure is the soundtrack CD of 'Falling Down' by James Newton Howard. A brief hiatus from swimming in an aural ocean of Goldfrapp following the 'Tales Of Us' screening on Tuesday. I'll doubtless be div…
