Badger dance
Dec. 21st, 2004 11:06 pmBack from Colsonall and Jools, which was a Good Thing and featured the wonderful Sam Brown and Ruby Turner on vocals. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ramtops danced! Several times!! (so did I, but this isn't really worthy of note). We were in row K, which is also a Good Thing: close enough to the stage, with an aisle behind that is (a) a good place to boogie and (b) allows for Quick Egress at the end (and consequent first dibs at the Trenchard Street car park pay machines). In theory, the sound should have been good too, as the sound desk was right behind us. It wasn't: muddy and distorted it was, yes.
Support was Debbie Bonham who still (we saw her at Jools' Glastonbury gig earlier this year) spends too much energy trying to be Joe Cocker. Good voice, and a band that can boogie acceptably well when provoked, but faint praise sadly is the bottom line.
An oddity: in the row in front of us was a young female person, who spent the entire gig, even when stood up and swaying in an approximately rhythmic way, SMSing. Is this really normal behaviour for yoof today? If so, I'm getting even more Badgery than I feared...
