I think it was wise to leave out the Welsh bit, too...<br /><br />And Horsemeatpie - I agree, especially about the incredible abundance of Number One gigs and bands. We have indeed been spoiled, and I've enjoyed every minute!Piebirdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11915226.post-65615715846774785622009-07-07T23:27:53.012+01:002009-07-07T23:27:53.012+01:00Great review, Chris. That was a pretty incredible ...Great review, Chris. That was a pretty incredible night all round.<br /><br />I'm still basking in the beauty of Basement Scam, still astonished by how good The Vaselines were, still basking in the beauty of Basement Scam...<br /><br />We've been really spoiled this past month or so: in any other year, any one of those Eddie Marcon, Tenniscoats, Pastels, or Vaselines gigs would have been no.1 on my Best Thing Of The Year list; to have all four in the space of six weeks is, well, wonderful...my little heart feels fit to pop.<br /><br />[And on that note, if it does, rest assured that a similar tribute night would be just fine; though more realistically, try to make sure they play the theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm as the coffin goes down, would you?]<br /><br />I finally got around to putting some photos up on Flickr. It's not the best set ever, but it is nice to be able to title a photo Stephen Pastel Gets The Horn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11915226.post-65402052069095364642009-07-07T17:21:15.200+01:002009-07-07T17:21:15.200+01:00We do indeed. Rude of me not to mention it!
I tho...We do indeed. Rude of me not to mention it!<br /><br />I thought it was quite chivalrous, though, to cut the part about our drunken stot back through town yelling in Northern Irish, stopping buses in their tracks. That was fun.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961928950277859778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11915226.post-62267561331430516132009-07-06T23:59:47.984+01:002009-07-06T23:59:47.984+01:00A wonderful, wonderful evening! Moving, uplifting...A wonderful, wonderful evening! Moving, uplifting, and full of an amazing, positive energy... It must've been a bittersweet experience for David Williamson's family; I hope they were able to enjoy it all, too, and that the evening raised a goodly sum for the new Rwanda foundation, too.<br /><br />Oh, and I was as surprised as you were to find that I preferred the Vaselines live show to their recordings - it's not often that this happens for me! Worth missing that bus for...<br /> <br />Heroine of the hour for me, though, has to be the fabulous Jane, who not only selflessly drove us to the bus station when the taxi didn't show up in time (thereby missing some precious minutes from the Vaselines and Fanclub sets, herself), but also went on to provide us with an extremely comfortable and attractive spare room for the night, plus internet access (so we could book tickets home on the first bus the next morning), plus taxi numbers (to arrange our departure at an ungodly hour, and ensure we caught it this time round - which we did). A star of a different kind. If you're reading this, Jane, we love you!Piebirdnoreply@blogger.com
