I rocked, they rocked, if fact it was a rocking time!

WOW, what a busy couple of days! On Friday I travelled to Camberley on the coach and discovered the delight of journeying through London (not!). On the coach from Victoria however I did get to meet some most delightful people upon the national express coaches and a rather mardy newspaper seller, who didn't want to talk about any of the days big news stories - oh well!

On Saturday (yes the big day itself), Helen and I grabbed London Travel Cards and set off for a day in the city. After having met an American guy on the train to Waterloo we went to the tate modern which was superb! Bruce Nauman's Raw Materials was my reason for wanting to go, and I have to say it did not dissapoint! Crossing through walls of sound was a unique experience that I shall remember for a long time! If you get a chance to go before the 2nd of May take it, it's free and well worth going to!

In the afternoon after a spot of lunch at Tiger, Tiger, (Picadilly Circus) we went along to the Science Museum, we looked at the history of medicine which provided us with our amusing quote of the day (Better be chokt [choked] with English hemp, then poisoned with Indian Tabacco - from the old days when political correctness wasn't really around!).

The evening was most exciting with a racous concert at the Carling Brixton Academy! Kicking us off were Thee Unstrung, who I thought were great! My favourite track for them was a play on unchained melody (Melody, oh Melody, you were always f'ing chained!). There albyum comes out soon and if I have any kind of money I think it'll be a sound investment! The Departure were the other support band (kind of a mix of Sissor Sisters and Franz Ferdinand), and while they got the crowd going I didn't think they were that amazing (the lead singer did make me laugh with his rather pathetic attempts at 'rocking'!

There was one group who we were waiting for however and that was the AWESOME FEEDER!! You thought I was bad before, I'm worse now! They came out and rocked, they really were fantastic. The crowd participation was also admirable, singing, dancing, a jumped up, lively and exciting atmosphere without people smacking into you every other beat! Pilgrim Soul live was a huge highlight for me, in the middle the band almost stopped as chants of 'F--E--E--D--E--R, F--E--E--D--E--R' rained out! The show was incredible and of course Buck Rodgers was played with great enthusiasm. The band had the audience on the edge as they played the bassline of the song for well over a minute before kicking into it with great effect!

The journey back was pleasant, a bus to Claphanm Junction, a train to ascot and then another to Camberley. I was rather tired. Just like I am now! Unfortunatly there is no rest for me today as Sophie and Molly have come around. Should be good fun! Have a good day yourself. God Bless...
