hello Sinister! following our successful attempt at being the first to post about the scarborough gig, we thought we'd try it again for ipswich. lovely gig. bizarre standing arrangement meaning the first 3 rows were non-existant. prize-giving ceremony, like at school, for all the roadies and people, who got to hug isobel! (in her nice blue shirt and piano tie). they all got little medals like you win at 5-a-side football competitions. struan TOOK HIS TOP OFF! lovely! played a couple of songs topless - chris jones looked as if he was about to faint. and he took all 36 photos on his film before the grand finale...... 'don't stop me now' by queen. with STRUAN DRESSED AS FREDDIE!!!!!topless, wearing a moustache, cape (well, a towel draped over his shoulders) and a pretty silver crown, which he threw into the audience. other highlights: -the band doing 'jilted john' by jilted john, with jilted john (AKA brian appleton) singing while isobel, struan and a roadie jumped about and did backing vocals. -fireworks!!! a bit a shock for everyone - especially the band. loud bangy confettiness at the end of legal man. - slow grafiti (which was double nice cos we asked struan to do it at camera obscura), dog on wheels, state i'm in and the new one thats not 'i love my car'. -additional medals for the fans in the front row who'd been to all (or almost all) the gigs! -struan taking off his top. did we mention that, oh yes, we did. but still, eh. nudge nudge. shame isobel didn't follow suit. :o) -struan changed the 'ten biggest wanks'line to something about travelling up the A12 to ipswich. and promptly forgot the rest of the verse. -richard's comedy painful facial expressions. -stevie's elvis impression -especially in legal man (feather boa wore her elvis t-shirt especially, ahhh!). and his random apologies and rants. bye bye stuart h and feather boa. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
