Well it was a bit of a fantastic gig wasn't it? Was definitely one of their most energetic in ten years. If there was any complaint, it could have been a bit louder. But then, I like to be immersed in a wall of sound.

Gutted there was some after party that I didn't know about (please tell me about this at future gigs if you spot me!). But at least I got a pick.



It was fantastic meeting boarders. I'm a bit shy and tend to run away, so being in a queue and then kettled against the barrier prevents that. Hopefully see you all again for the Futurology stints.

hahah that was my nickname when I was a teenager. In fact, I was dating someone and after two weeks she asked "Why is everyone calling you jimi?" and that's when I realised she actually thought my name was Bernard.

He! He! Thanks Andrea!

YES! He said something like "jewelery"! That must have been it!
Thanks!

Waited for a long time to see James afterwards, he was lovely and signed and posed for pictures with everyone there.
I hung around until Nicky came out, did James come out much after him?

I didn't really look at my watch but it was around/after 1:00. The barriers had been removed already. There were about 10 people waiting when James came out.

Yeah he said something along the lines of "For those of you in the cheap seats I'd like ya to clap your hands to this one; the rest of you can just rattle your jewelry!" as in the John Lennon quote.
