Hello! Yes, we’re still here just in case you were wondering. Last night we went and saw KT Tunstall in concert at the ICA in London. We were a little early (OK, maybe a couple of hours early) so ate in the ICA Cafe and then sat on the edge of the stage while waiting […]
Jem @ Cargo
The continuing search for entertainment in London took us to an east London club called Cargo last night. We were there to see a new British artist called Jem perform her first UK concert since signing a record contract in the USA. We arrived early and had dinner at the attached restaurant (which was nice […]
A weekend is a long time
The past weekend was very busy for us, and a busy last few weeks. We’re now settled in and just have a few boxes around the place that are needing to have their contents given a home. We had Roz (Australian we met on the Kumuka trip) stay with us for a few days almost […]
Sarah comes back
Sarah at the Royal Albert Hall last night One Two Three Four Five Six Seven
Rosie at the Borderline
Rosie Thomas is a person that you can describe a thousand times and still never fully explain. The first time we saw her was as the support act for Jewel back in 2002. She was fantastic that night and I got to meet her and say hi while she signed her album for me. We […]
Finns again
Below are photos from the in-store appearance of the Finn Brothers at Virgin Megastore last night. A fantastic little gig they played eight or nine songs mixing new stuff with Crowded House, Split Enz and even a Finn album number. The boys grin for the gaggle of photographers Thankfully the photographers left after a couple […]
The Finn Brothers
On Sunday we had booked tickets for a Finn Brothers concert. This was a special fan-club only concert that I had found out about. I dully joined the club and was then able to purchase tickets. The concert was held at the Regents Park open air theatre which is normally a venue for outdoor Shakespeare […]
Barenaked Ladies
Barenaked Ladies performed at the Hammersmith Apollo and we attended. One of the many songs performed was called ‘Another Postcard’, which was (or is, depending on where you are in the world) the first single off of the Ladies latest album ‘Everything to Everyone’. The song concerns the abundance of postcards adorned with chimpanzees that […]
The Ladies
Last night, being the evening of Wednesday 29th of April, we attended a concert performed by the band Barenaked Ladies. It was fantastic, I haven’t laughed so much and had such a good time since the last time we saw them play which was in Auckland back in 1999. Barenaked Ladies singing an acoustic number
Sarah McLachlan
I went and saw Sarah McLachlan (or Sarah McClaclin as the presenter insisted on calling her) yesterday evening. Took a few photos, some of which can be found here: …Sarah McLachlan…. It was a good show, five songs followed by a signing. I am now very much looking forward to her concerts in London during […]
Jethro Tull in Brighton
Hello again. We’ve begun to look more seriously at rental property given that we need to move in 6 weeks or so. On Sunday we went out to Brentwood and visited a number of estate agents – looks like there’s plenty of property, it’s just a pain getting out there to look at it when […]
Thea Gilmore at the Bush Hall
Yes we’re still here, yes we’re slack, one day we’ll be more up-to-date and regular. But not today. Last night we went to a concert, Thea Gilmore at the Bush Hall, Shepherd’s Bush, London. It was a great concert in a tiny venue, and the hall itself was probably only half filled. It was also […]
