I went to see magician derren brown last night in Glasgow.
Very cool SBW!
The last show I paid to attend was Betontanc: Wrestling Dostoevsky
their blurb is : This high-velocity dance theater work from the internationally acclaimed Slovenian ensemble tells a compelling tale of love rich with passion and violence, accompanied by a zesty live music performance. Staged “in the round” on a set strewn with household lamps and antique carpets, Wrestling Dostoevsky features stunning performances by the six young dancers of Betontanc (“Concrete Dance”), whose inventive and intensely physical sense for movement is driven by provocative texts by Dostoevsky and music by the Ljubljana group Silence.
OMG, Scottishbookworm! You've actually MET Derren Brown??? And more than once??? *swoon* I adore the man! I wanted to see his show in Aberdeen, but I had to wait till I was paid and then it was too late. :cry2:
The last concert I went to was quite a while ago now - I saw Dream Theater in concert in London after the release of their last album, Octavarium. Dale and I went to both dates in London as they did a different show the second night. The first night they played a selection of greats and stuff from the new album. The second night, they played new stuff and then, in the second half, performed Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd from start to finish - it was AWESOME!
Dale actually got to meet the band, as he won the chance through the fanclub *JEALOUS AS ALL HELL!!!* and got some stuff autographed. We had a whale of a time. We're hoping that they'll have some UK dates later in the year, as they're touring Europe with Symphony X (another band we love) as their special guests. (We're not going to the Download Festival dates though.)

Derren Brown's live show is fab. I saw him last year in April. It was actually my mine and my bf's first date. Lucky you got to meet him!! I agree with you Kell. He's rather nice.
I went to see the Levellers play a couple of weeks ago but had a rotten cold on the day and so didn't enjoy it much. A few weeks before that I went to see the woman in black at the theatre. Great fun. Lots of jumpy bits.
I've just remembered - I've been to the theatre more recently than the DT concert - I went to see a wonderful production of Arsenic and Old Lace last October - the tickets were a birthday present and I went along with my sister. Wayne Sleep played Dr. Einstein and absolutely stole the show!

Okay, thanks! A totally new word for theater for me, and that's always a good thing.
I worked a show in May (just ran a sound system), here's a picture from that show - it's Gamelan and Balinese Dance - thought y'all might be jealous of my cool job, lol.

Same here Carm! I have dragged hubby along to one and mum to another and they both loved it. The best time was when I went to the Albert Hall with another fan whom I met at ante natal classes. By the time the concert came we both had v young babies and left our families to it!! And then leaked milk all the way home!! :lol:

I was at the Crowded House/Peter Gabriel thing in Hyde Park on Saturday. It was very, very wet. Crowded House were great. Peter Gabriel was very boring indeed and insisted on playing what he felt like playing and ignored the fact that there were several tends of thousands of very, very wet people who would have liked to have been entertained.
Last winter my boyfriend and I went to a performance of the Everett Symphony...the concert was called A Night in Vienna and it was mainly waltzes. They were all right, but the cello soloist was awful. :sarcastic: I had to go for a class at school.

In Florida I was fortunate enough to be able to see a 'Cirque du Soleil' performance and also 'The Blue Man Group'. Both were utterly jaw dropping and highly entertaining. I missed them when they were in the UK previously but I would recommend them if you ever get the opportunity. :smile2:

Was Mr Essex good?
I saw him with my sister at Sutton Granada in 1973ish. Sister was thrown out for trying to get on the stage to give him a kiss!! :lol: :lol:

He was very good but he has aged a bit since 1973. :D

Went to a TRAVIS concert with Andy my eldest a while back....was FAB. Got offered tickets by a friend of my sis and it was too good an opportunity to pass up. I didn't feel out of place either....all age groups. Me and him were singing along to loads of stuff:mrgreen:

The school where my daughter attends have put on an end of the year pantomine Cinderella. The whole school (under 50 children) were all involved and it was absolutely delightful. The little juniors were all mice (they look far too small to be attending school) dressed in winter PJs and floopy ears and whiskers. The fairy god-mother rode a scooter, wore a purple tutu adorned with flashing lights, black leather jacket and huge Nikes. They had us all in stitches.

Beth and I went to see Joseph this afternoon. Oh my goodness.. it was fabulous! I was really impressed with Lee Mead.. very professional, and as enthusiastic as if it was his first performance.. he was having a great time! The rest of the cast were good too, and Beth loved the Pharaoh.
When the actual show was finished, Lee came out and sang with the children, then the whole cast did this very energetic run through of the highlights of the songs.
We even waited out the front for him, and got a signed photo, and a squiggle that was meant to be an autograph. :)
(And I have to say, he's really rather cute! ;))
