Concert news

Almost a year to the day when I rather embarassed myself at a Artic Monkeys concert, I decided to risk humiliation again and went to see the Dirty Pretty Things, who, for people who don't keep up with this, is the new(ish) band of the other one in the Libertines, Carl Barrat. The good news is a) I didn't go to leave after the support band had finished under the impression they were the main act and b) I thought they were very good, in fact one of the best concerts I'd been to. Slightly strangely Russell Brand, who apparently is a comedian, turned up and did a raffle, followed by an encore where Paul Weller played the Jam classic, 'In the City', which was fun. To top all of that I went to Elephant and Castle and wasn't murdered, so I am revisiting that assumption too.
