Ms. Nash I Salute You

So last night was gig night, Kate Nash at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Very kindly Mum and Dad offered to drive me and my older sister up there and drop us off whilst they went to see My mums mum and possibly my eldest sibling. Everything was all going to plan until we just hit London and learnt that the Hammersmith one way system had been shut due to debris on the road after the previous nights storms. So we just jumped out of the car and used the underground, Think we started out South Ealing station luckily on the line we needed and it was only like 4 stops away so good times.

Go the the Apollo to find a mahuusssive que outside and the doors weren't open so the que wasn't moving. Kristy said she knew a little pub just round the corner so we went and had a nice little drink or two. Really nice kinda trying to be modern pub but a bit run down, quite nice atmosphere so really enjoyed it. Bout half 8 we left to go in but still there was a huge que, we thought screw it we'll just get in there. In all honesty within like 10 minutes we were at the front so no problems there really.

Got in had another few drinks, decided not to watch the support act cause they were called "Black Kids" and we thought that was "un-PC" (lol by now we were pretty well toasted) but we saw Ms. Nash was on at 9:15 so got into the auditorium for bout 9. Kristy heard the directions from the usher wrong and went right instead of left and we walked through a whole row of people trying not to spill our drinks only to find we were in seats 2 and 3 when our tickets were for 32 and 33. So made our way round the back and up the top and eventually found our seats, quite good, quite a way back but right in the middle and could see the stage pretty well.

Well when Kate actually came on, all the girls (which made up a good 85% of the crowd) went mental. Although the acoustics weren't great where we were sitting, you could hear the she was exactly like she was on the album, and she was putting all she had into the performance which i truly respect her for. Played the handful of songs i really knew and played them well, the songs I didn't know, also were really cool although cause of the acoustics like I said I couldn't really make out the words clearly which is really the more important side of her music. All in all a really good performance and great musicianship all around ~ turns out shes actually quite handy with and guitar as well as a piano.

Nothing really to report leaving everything went well and we got home by about 12:30 to which i wrapped up the night with Beans of Toast and a cup of tea

Good Times...
