The Police in Hyde park

That was it then, but it could not have been better weather for it. The Police played their final UK concert ever in Hyde Park yesterday, and according to the number of people wearing Police t-shirts a lots of their fans met up to say goodbye to them. It was a [...]

The Police and full supporting Bill

In September 2007 I saw the Police in Twickenham, with a delay of about 25 years. It was a fantastic concert.
My good friend made me aware of the fact that The Police is playing their final ever gig in Hyde Park on the 29th of June. The very last the [...]

Music from the Movies

Yes that is Alan Rickman
Here are some thought on Music from the Movies, Royal Albert Hall – London.

The Police, Twickenham – London

If you find your binoculars you can spot them somewhere on stage.
WOW!! That was an awesome trip on memory lane.

Jamie Cullum, Forum – Kentish Town – London

(Here is a larger picture of Jamie Cullum)
I was going to do a small post about the Jamie Cullum concert yesterday. But I guess you know me by now.

20 percent off your Bill

Believe it or not, this is a post about Life, the Universe and Everything. Silliness guaranteed though.

“So …” Davy begins.
“So” I say, knowing that something is coming.
“How many pages have you written of your 90 page feature film script?”
“Ehrm, well ….”
“Ahrr, I thought so.”
“Yeah, but you know, Dan and June … They hold my head hostage at the moment.”
“You will be in trouble if you don’t start soon. November remember.”
“I … [...]

A bit about Bob, a bit about film, a bit about Steffen, a bit about Tina and a bit about postcards.

Ghost in the machine

Looking back, with my eyes closed, I have had 3 major inspirational influences in my life, which means that inside my head you can find 3 fairly large chunks of information from all three of them.
Steffen Brandt’s lyrics guided me through life in Denmark and they became the basis of my Danish [...]

Bob Dylan

It’s one of Steffen Brandts favourite songwriters.
Richard Curtis likes him too.
And Bill Nighy is obsessed with him.
I like and respect all of the above 3 men, so there must be something about him.
He is a legend.
I really started to like him when one of his songs was featured in a play.
Yes that play.
My [...]

AIR – sexy boys …

If you thought that flying far to watch Bill Nighy was a first time silly action, think again. I flew to an iceberg (in Greenland) to see a concert of a band I (still) like, and have flown to London more than once to see them there too. And beside those [...]

Drawing with Light

Drawing with lights in Dingwalls : Love Actually in Lights
It was about half a year ago I last saw her, in Dingwalls in Camden. At that time I had just arrived in London. Now 6 months later, Camden is a place I know relatively well, and I am no longer that intimidated by [...]

“Hey, you want skunk ?”
That was one of the first things people asked me when I hopped off the underground in Camden yesterday.
“No thanks” I said. I am crazy enough in my head already without that.

Just a short review of yesterdays Sigur Ros concert.
The good:
The Hammersmith Apollo hall is a fantastic concert place. Like Shepherds Bush Empire this is a concerthall with style, beautifully decorated and build like a kind of half circle around the stage. Excellent sound too.
Sigur Ros has one of the most beautiful visual appearances I have [...]

I am off to this long awaited concert in 2 minutes from now. I bought the ticket for this concert on the birthday of the man who is the reason I discovered them in the first place. And at that time the concert was very far away, and so was my move to London. But [...]

to go to my very last tv-2 concert tonight ?
Well it’s heartbreaking. And tonight I am not going to sell t-shirts, I will stand before the stage for a last time, and sing along with the songs I know so well. And listen to the lyrics that have been a big part of my daily [...]

I have been to quite some concerts, but this definetely was one of the best ever, if not the best. I once saw a concert with Jamie Cullum on tv, and I admit, that you quickly can get the impression that he is one spoiled brat. The way he is moving around stage, his jumping [...]

let London come to you.
I know that several people are going to puke (again) because of my music taste, I couldn’t care less. Thing is that this Brit (and Londoner too if I’m not completely mistaken) has been entertaining my ears for quite a while now, and I would glady let him romantisize, [...]

Steffen Brandt, smiling on stage in Aarhus, actually.
Oh I am so going to miss watching this man on stage. And hearing him and his band live. Good to know they play London every second year. And good to know London has some other interesting men running around to compensate …
for i = [...]

The man in the rain (the Girl in the Cafe)
En dus kocht ik een kaartje voor het Sigur Ros concert. Thanks to Bill, want had ik de film niet gezien, had ik ze waarschijnlijk nooit ondekt. En laten we eerlijk zijn Takk is wel de beste plaat van 2005, en Staralfur, het allermooiste liedje ooit [...]
