Jules Holland Rocked the Buxton Opera House

Hya all,

Just look at this.... How fabulous is that! Its the Buxton Opera House it blew me away, now that is a venue!! Me and a few chums went to c Jules Holland & his rhythm and blues orchestra there last night.

They were amazing. I've been to quite a few gigs but when you go to a 'music' gig rather than a band gig there's such a massive difference, its less about the concept, image, and who's playing and instead its about what's being played. Pure Talent, nuff said!

The only other gig I've been to of that kind was when i went to go and see, Antony & the Johnson's at the little civic in Wolverhampton, the difference being that the majority of their material is quite melancholy and slow, where as Jules was a complete contrast, big sounds n neats that you couldn't help but tap your feet to!
At one point everyone was on their feet dancing away, FAB! the show included a woman named Ruby turner i think, well that woman can really sing. Effortlessly she belted out such a rich and powerful sound. The whole band in fact were true 'artists' Just Fab.

One problem though... made me realise just how much i've got yet to learn, i'll av a good go trying though! ;-)

Penthouse!

Hya all, Just a quick post really. Went to Nottingham over the bank hols with me friend who i don't c as often i'd like.
We went to c girls aloud at the ice rink, girls aloud not being my general taste but an opportunity for a girly laugh & night out as much as anythin! twas fab had a brill time & we even got upgraded to the penthouse apartment, n for 1 sec we convinced ourselves that girls aloud were in the next apartment cuz we heard singing! spose we'll never no! Anyway just wanted to mark the occasion.

Bye 4 now Purkul x
