Fantastic, nothing like a little Harpervirgin sacrifice to really make the evening special! :thumbup1: Do come if you can, Critch... Will be lovely to see you all there - and just remember, my avatar is life sized
We will be there :biggrin: There will be eight of us all together, four adults and four kids See you there x:thumbup1:
Pretty darn good gig last night. Nick was on excellent form. I hope he wasn't driving after the show though :wink: Pics and some video clips here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenland-anorakman/
Cheers, Phil. Good to see you again, matey. Paula - were you manning/personing the merch stall by any chance? If so I'm sorry I didn't get chance to come and say hello. Cracking gig - although the bloke shouting "T*tties & Beer" literally all night was beginning to get on my t*tties. I was ready for calling in an air strike, but Old Nick managed to sidetrack him for a while by cunningly playing other stuff. I heard what I think is possibly the definitive "Build Our Own Temple" with insert from Zeppelin's "Friends" and a stunning instrumental intro. Sadly the beautiful "Imaginary Friend" seemed a little-bit tossed-off at Holmfirth (my impression anyway), which was suprising. I wondered if Nick was a wee bit put-off by the aforementioned "T*tties & Beer" bloke? :confused1: Otherwise yet another fantastic, chaotic, barmy & brillant night in the company of Mr Harper & friends. Roll on the next one! :thumbup1:
Hiya Green Man! Glad you had a great time, as did I - and yes I was the merch girl, do come say hi next time :thumbup1: It's always cool seeing shows at the start of 'tours' when Nick tries to mix it up a bit - Shadowlands, In Our Time, no Headless/Love is Music medley but Love Junky instead! If only he had kept going with Ghost of Her Touch when the guy in the front suggested it - was almost jumping up and down when he started it, I could have shouted out the words for him Does anyone remember when the string break came? I was deep in CD selling land in the back by then! And good news, I sold at least 2 CDs to total newbie Harpervirgins who were blown away - RESULT :thumbup1:
Hi Paula, The string break came in "Love Junky". Don't laugh, but in something like a dozen or so Harpic gigs, that was the first string break I've witnessed first-hand. Duck broken, etc! :biggrin:
Vestral virginal virgins with kids... Obviously then there is no such thing as a Harper virgin then? andi :confused1: :confused1:
Put the clip of the end of the string break on youtube now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhAKJ7473XU
