You know the feeling when you meet someone and they totally surpass your expectations? I was lucky enough to experience that feeling last night.

Kel and I are going to the Wolverhampton Civic Hall tonight to see the Finn Brothers (formerly of Crowded House).

Was it a year well spent? The Edinburgh holiday ( Read more... )

The Kings Of Convenience gig at the Warwick Arts Centre last night was awesome. I went with duracell and we had to leave the venue as soon as the show finished to rush for our last train home which was a shame as Erland and Eirik were meeting everyone to say hello and sign CDs but never mind. There should be another time ( Read more... )

And so my birthday week begins. I've really got to work my ass off this week but I've got a fair few evenings to look forward to along the way beginning with a Kings Of Convenience gig at the Warwick Arts Centre tonight. A little adventure really as its a venue I've never been to and I'm not sure just how easy or difficult it is to get to and from ( Read more... )
