First support Amy Correia had a certain charm but seemed to lack a bit of oomph. She had the balls to do her last song in a totally acapella (all right, can you spell it?) style which was very good and she had a lovely voice. Polly Paulusma, well, least said soonest mended. We had to go to the bar while she was on. She seemed to play about a hundred songs, each of which was an hour long, and about being slightly miffed about something really minor in a wistful way. No saving graces. Dull.
The Divine Comedy were fantastic, stripped down to a 3 piece of Neil on piano or guitar and a cello player and another guitar/ banjo player. They did a 3 part set, first with the Piano-ey songs then the guitary ones then Neil returned to the piano for encores where they took requests for songs from the audience which was chaotic but very funny. As far as I remember they did We Are The Champions, Wonderwall, The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore, and a few others.
The Bowery audience were a bit prissy, especially upstairs where we went for the view. “You’re going to have to stop breathing on my back It’s driving me nuts” said one strange young lady. Now I wasn’t standing very close to her, and well, it was a gig so we were all standing facing the same way, and I had to breathe. It’s not like I was thrusting at her and licking her shoulder. She should be so lucky…
Today I’m going to meet someone I never met before. Ohmigod. That’s not some hippy philosophy thing by the way. It’s arranged.
Oh and if you want to be alerted when Yuka TV is live, use the special email request under the picture… Not that picture down there, that one over there.
Are we an Audrey Hepburn fan then? Do you “wash your face and hands before you come”?!!
Love from another Audrey Hepburn fan
Dahlink, she’s top banana in the shock department, if I found someone like Audrey, why I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name.
Do I know you? Because I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else.
