things really picked up towards the end. In fact after the raffle (god bless B&S!) I think it really got going.

I thought I'd just post a few humble opinions about Shepherds Bush too..... I thought both the support act were cool, especially Elliot Smith. Unfortuneatley most od B&S was spoilt for us some really rude people. Being short, I stood just at the top of the stairs. I don't know what the sound was like anywhere else but it was dead quiet and reallt hard to make out what was being said when they spoke to the audience. I don't think B&S are the sort of band that can simply 'turn up the volume' what with being folky, close-mike, gentle sort of music, yet loads of people near usust talked really loudly the whole way through, and it really spoilt it for us. HAving said that, the moments when that loud blond tart was smoking and was quiet for a few moments, I really enjoyed it and I agree that it got much better towards the end. I loved the French song that isobel did at the end very much. In fact, I think she did really well all night. I loved 'is it wicked not to care?' too and I think she really carried a lot of the show. Has anyone seen B&S in smaller venues and would I be right in assuming that they suit a smaller audience a lot more, or am I just getting snobby because I still see them as 'underground/cult' kind of music??? love and sweets..... christine xxxxxxxxxxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
