Pretty Reckless, Shepherds Bush Empire, London 16-12-10

Great gig. Was at the back, but a good view. Just a shame about all the mobiles in the air…

Skunk Anansie, Virginmarys, @ Brixton academy, London 26-11-10

Julia : ” I’ve never been this cold in a venue before ! “

Melissa Auf Der Maur, Japanese Voyeurs, @ Scala, London 15-11-10

This show was nowhere near as good as the one i saw in Nottingham. It just didn’t flow/gel for me. I quite enjoyed Japanese Voyeurs.

Skunk Anansie, @ LH2 studios, London,12-11-10

This was VERY special. Production rehearsals for the tour , in front of an invited audience ! Thanks to my lovely friend Julia, i managed to get to see this one. I got down there early & bumped into “Trapper”. He took me inside for a look around. Later, Julia phoned & we met at nearby tube stop. Once back at the venue, Cass popped by & said hello. In the “venue”, the stage was on the same level as us. Was pretty bizarre. If my memory serves me right, there was a tape/barrier to keep a gap between us & the band. It was an interesting experience (btw, no photos at request of the band). seeing how things progress etc. Yeah, a couple of flubs, but hey , that’s what this was about: rehearsing. Towards the end, skinny said we could all move forward & have a dance around etc. This was an amazing unique experience & i’m forever in debt to Julia /skin for the invite. When i saw Julia talking with skin about it on her FB, i couldn’t help but take a screen grab for the memory 😉

This was the first of TWO gigs in one day for me…

Cheap Trick, @ Shepherds Bush Empire, London 12-11-10

After going to see the Skunk Anansie rehearsals, i hot footed it over to Shepherds Bush Empire for Cheap Trick. Unfortunately, getting there so late, i didn’t have a good view….but hey, it was worth it just for the Skunk show 😉
