the village this week
I try to avoid the place as a rule, for no reason other than being a tad anti-social. (it's nab central at the best of times....)
BUT
I was there twice this week, and enjoyed myself thouroughly both times.
Monday was Jose Gonzales. What a beautiful gig. This man has one of those voices that makes you fall in love instantly, so deep and mournful, it was hypnotic.
Then, in absolute contrast, was Stars on tuesday. Canuck rock of the cheesiest variety. The gig was wonderful really! I love the album Heart and was happy to see loads of people agreed with me. The night was all about singing along and trumpet solos. Cool beans.

Dara O'Briain
So Funny
SO
FUNNY!!
Truly.
Ok so this was my second foray into stand-up comedy zone, a place I was reluctant to venture into previously... but it was well worth it. I had seen him on the tele in Bristol on a rather sad night on tour, so I was quite open to a bit of humour. This was quite different though. Most notably, the swearing was great. It was used to a fantastic advantage. Quite stellar. Then there was the audience participation, of which I was VERY JEALOUS. (at one point he was close to enquiring about the presence of Canadians in the audience and I felt Mark shrink beside me in horror....)
Maybe I fancy him a bit.
Or maybe it's just the jokes.
