I’ve been missing in action for the last wee while…well, on the old interwebs anyway. I’m still too tired from summers markets to really write anything very enthusiastic but it has been fun and I do promise some exciting news and adventure stories are to come soon!
In the meantime though, I’ll leave you with some recommended viewing/listening material. I spent a lot of August through at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and here are some clips of my favourite performers…
Spotted these guys at T in the Park, but my break (I was there with Oxfam) was over before they finished the sound-check and I missed their actual set(waaah!).
The sight of an accordion on stage made me scribble down the (rather excellent) band name anyway to check out when I got home, and I am SO glad I did. They pretty much became my soundtrack for the rest of summer (well, until I saw Carter USM at Beautiful Days festival…and then Pulp at Reading).
Drama – So the Evelyn Evelyn gig at Oran Mor was announced, no clue who they were but Amanda Palmer playing the same gig meant I HAD to go. Thought I’d never be able to afford tickets, finally raised monies by doing another stall at Sloans market….and it was SOLD OUT.
During the course of my frantic jewellery making and attempting to promote and sell stuff for ticket money, I listened to some Jason Webley and got to know the wonderful mystery behind the amazing Evelyn Evelyn act, so was doubly triply quadruply GUTTED reading the poster outside Tickets Scotland last Sunday. ’Sold out’ in its mocking bold capitals.
I swore, I ranted, I blasted the internet with ‘any spare tickets?!~’ and I secretly hoped that someone I knew might fall ill at the last minute and ask me to take their place.
Couple days later, I calmed down, moved on, wrote a blog about cats and adopted an Amur Leopard through the WWF. THEN at 15:57 yesterday, Matt Papacool breezed in with his superhero, super MAGNIFICENT ways to tell me a few more tickets had been released and I was on two of them :)
I have my booking confirmation, tickets are in the post and have finally just taken a breath after all the hopping, jumping, squealing of last nights ‘I might have them! do i have them? is that an email?!~’ excitements.
. . . . .
So what’s all the fuss about?…
and
That’s pretty much it.
Tickets available from TicketMaster.
Evelyn Evelyn debut album on pre-order from Amazon.
Introducing Evelyn Evelyn (for possibly the third time on this feature). Blogged about the Glasgow gig here and due to the awesomeness of twitter, blogging and the amazingly fun and kind DriaHades, I’ll be running away from home and showing up at the London show too! What an adventure :)
I don’t know if I love or hate it when this happens.
On the one hand Yaay! what an awesome tune/band, I can’t believe I almost forgot about them!~ but then I’m almost sad that I’ve been MISSING OUT for so long and then there’s the Oh, where IS that cd? that bitch never gave me it back!’.
Introducing the Mad Caddies…
I’m still allowed to call them my all-time favourite, fun band even if I forgot all about them over the last 6yrs, right?
I challenge you to suggest a fun song that I’ll love more than this one.
