I’m not really focused enough to write much but I wanted to write something while I was still deaf.
It’s 5am here in London and I’ve just driven back from Bristol after seeing Babylon Circus on the final night of the UK leg of their European tour.
They were brilliant again as they had been in London on Monday at The Jazz Café.
Being so impressed by the London gig I had travelled down to Bristol to catch them before they left the UK and I found myself in the middle of a student fancy dress Halloween party. What I’m doing there is classifying anyone younger than me as a student.
The party was in fact the Boom After Party held to celebrate the success of the Boomtown Fair. I should try to find out a bit more about what that means.
Having arrived at around 7pm I discovered that the band wouldn’t be on until after midnight and unfortunately I was driving. At least I am now in a position to tell you that they are great when you’re drunk and great when you’re sober. And this time, having no beer distractions meant I could plant myself at the front of the crowd right at the start and stay there until the end.
Luckily the two support acts were very good and I allowed a very lovely young lady to paint my face and waited…
If you’d like to see a few pics, including my ugly mug, check out this link to a quick photo album I’ve uploaded to Facebook.
