Sinister: Reporting back - Sheffield gig

[Heather Swinsco]

Hello Sinister,

It’s been a while since my first post, and then I was too shy to post on my 
own, so it was a joint post with Amy (‘daisychain’). A lot’s happened since 
my last post, but I’ve ended up back in Sheffield now (just in time for the 
gig) trying to while away a year before starting uni in October. So I 
thought I’d report back. I’m afraid I don’t have a set list for you, so 
sorry about that. It was my first B&S gig, so I was obviously highly excited 
(in a dancing round the room singing Lazy Line Painter Jane kinda way). B&S 
didn’t disappoint either. I half feared that they might concentrate on their 
new songs (not that I dislike them, but their older stuff just conjures up 
so many more emotions), but they came through with songs like Photo Jenny (a 
favourite of mine), Expectations, Judy And The Dream of Horses, Dog On 
Wheels, I’m Waking Up To Us and many others which will no doubt come to me 
after I’ve posted this. It was a pity that Lord Anthony wasn’t among the new 
stuff that they played, because that really strikes a chord with me. It was 
also frustrating that I couldn’t dance because I could only book seats in 
the balcony area by the time I realised that I’d be back in Sheffield for 
the gig. Ah well, got to make a fool of myself by jigging around on my seat 
a bit and was able to watch Stevie dancing on stage. Awe. He’s so sweet when 
he dances.

A big thanks to Offbeat for a great after gig party. Stuart and Stevie 
actually turned up and one of the girls I was with got to dance with Stuart! 
And the DJs played Eighties Fan and The Day That Thatcher Dies – a couple of 
my favourite non B&S songs. Yay. The Sinister folk I went with were very 
welcoming, which means a lot to me, so thanks.

Anyway, I’d better go now and stop boring you with my ramblings. I’m off to 
the Edinburgh gig as well, so I might see some of you there. We really have 
to do something after the show…

Bye,
Heather
