Never Forget

I don't know what was better about the concert last night: getting free tickets; being in a box with free booze and food; having excellent seats; being with friends I haven't seen in a while; feeling totally elated while singing Never Forget with 80,000 other people; losing all inhibition and jumping up and down like a teenager; remembering why I love TT (they are so gosh darn nice). I had the most brilliant night. The only thing that was missing was Tim.

Pre-concert drinks in our box

James Morrison - the warm-up act

Wembley at capacity is a sight to behold

I really loved the big screens

It was The Circus tour and they used the theme to great effect - much better than Britney!

Can you see all the hands in the air?

Hiiiiiiigh!

I am on a total high after the Take That concert last night. What a show! I will be posting a selection of the 400+ photos I took later on. Today's dilemma: who do I fancy more - Gary or Howard? Gary has a great voice; Howard has great guns!

It was acceptable in the 80s

Last night Tim and I went with the Gid-Knights to see Calvin Harris, a young ,lanky, Scottish 'deejay' who is 6 years younger than us and seems to have achieved a lot more in less time. We felt very cool being out way past our bedtime on a school night although I am regretting it now: I have an interview tomorrow and I am feeling pretty darn tired. Anyway, here are some photos.

Before the concert, Tim and I grabbed a bite to eat in the newly refurbished St Pancras. I don't think we British often do a good job on public buildings (the Germans make things look so much classier), but St Pancras is really splendid.

Running to Standstill

In my view The Joshua Tree by U2 is a great album and if I could take albums to my desert island (instead of just songs) I would definitely take that one. When you love an album that much I think it is rare to hear any cover versions that you like. But, I recently happened upon a cover of one of my favourite songs on TJT - Running to Standstill - which I like as much as the original. The cover version is by Elbow and it was for a War Child Heroes 'covers' album. Give them both a listen and see what you think.
