Damien Rice
Monday night we popped out to see Damien Rice at the Palais. Folk is not normally my thing but Damien's voice is so amazing and he is soooooo damn good at what he does that it tends to transcend the limitations of any one genre. The place was packed and despite the stifling temperature indoors everyone was really enjoying the concert.
We had booked tickets late and ended up in the second-from-the-back-row of the Dress Circle so we especially happy when a Palais employee approached us and asked would we like to sit a bit closer? He swapped our tickets for two in the stalls, centre and about twenty rows from the front! Can't complain about that! Even so, for my tastes, the graphics are still the best thing about his albums.
In the space of ten days we've gone from The Scissor sisters to Damien Rice via Stravinsky and the Victorian State Opera so excuse us we're feeling a bit giddy!
Again, it's not my own film.
