There have been many ‘I wish I’d seen them then’ moments in most people’s lives. If you believe everybody who said they saw The Sex Pistols at The 100 Club, Oasis at King Tuts or even U2 at the Hope and Anchor, then each of those gigs alone had a combine audience total of approximately 7 million.
However, last week we witnessed one of THE greatest gigs London has ever staged. Arcade Fire played a ’secret’ show at Hackney Empire and through the powers of record company marketing departments, we managed to get a pair of tickets and all we can say is Wow! we won’t review it in full, we will simply say Wow! again.
If you look closely on the first picture you will see Florence (minus her machine) on the first balcony.
Our favourite ad amongst all the football noise currently on our screens is this one.
And FYI, the track used in this piece of lovelyness is Men Without Hats’ 1983 hit
Safety Dance. Our very own Ken Ansell was responsible for the logo and sleeve.
To say we are shocked to hear the news that Mick Hucknall will be joining
The Faces is an understatement. We feel angered, appalled and some are feeling
physically ill at the prospect of such lunacy.
