Hope and fear

One of my last nights out in London I went to Keane's concert at Alexandra Palace on Friday. What a beautiful located venue... OK its not easy to get there but still. Keane played an awesome set and many favourites. Bend & break, Everybody changes, some of their new stuff... and leadsinger was sharing his joy of being back on the road after a little dip.

A hot house

Had a really nice evening out to see the Hothouse Flowers play Shepherds Bush Empire. I saw them 2x before in 2000 (Dublin & Glastonbury) so it had been a awhile. My Dutch friend Deborah who moved to London last week and Chloe joined me, even though they didnt know the band. It wasnt sold out but there was a very good atomsphere in this beautiful venue. Afterwards I got to meet lead singer Liam who's only flaw that night was probably the hat he wore.

Great set, loved Si Do Mhamo i and the Carribean version of Don't Go.

The only non pub related photo from my weekend break to Manchester in September...! Feels like I am back in the Dublin days for some reason.
