Missy Higgins.

Last Tuesday I went to see the AMAZING Miss Missy Higgins ....

At St James Church, London. Missy Higgins?? not heard of her she is a young talent from Australia with a unique, unforgettable voice you will be instantly drawn to.
A young guy called Ben ? (shamefully I forget his surname), performed before Missy he was very good, a tad depressing with his lyrics especially being sat in a church. Seated at the pews, the packed church was buzzing for Missy to appear and perform and when she did the 90% majority Australian audience clapped and cheered as Missy took her place on stage. Of which she is natural of being on.
My tickets for the show where a birthday gift, one of the best gifts I have been given in a long while. I had waited for this night for so long. Missy is an amazing performer. She joked around on stage. Was at ease with the crowd. Gave background to her songs. And when she played 'The cactus that found beat' (one of my fave songs) I was jumping in my pew (unfort we couldnt stand)
The crowd being mostly Australians I was tempted to stand up and say Aussie Aussie Aussie but my friend quickly pointed out we would probably be mobbed if I did so...being that a huge percent of the audience was gay women for the life of me I couldnt see being mobbed as a bad thing at the time. Saying that I did keep my mouth shut. Was ever so hard though.
An amazing week I had last week. Missy was not the start the Monday I went to see Al Start (google her) perform in Brighton as part of Brighton Live week (google it) OK so Al Start isnt normally my kind of music and admittedly I don't own any of her CD's but she is gay and ever so freaking cute. Was a pleasure to have her singing whilst sitting with excellent company, with a few drinks.
Thursday I was showing a friend around Greenwich, sightseeing. Took a river cruise back up the Thames to get home, best way to see London espeically if you seat right at the front as me and my friend did. Knackering day but enjoyable. Visited a pub called the Admiral Hardy, pointed to me by a friend. Gay pub by the name you would be right to think so. Cool chilled out atmosphere though so was all good. Went to the Observatory to the meridian line ohhhh first time going there. At least I can say I have been. Greenwich Royal park is very nice to walk around. And how friendly are London squirrels. Jesus.
Then to top off the week Friday I treked back down to Brighton to see the Brighton Gospel Choir. They performance was great. A joy to listen and watch. Perfect for a Friday I mean very up lifting. My friend who I rather had to drag along, who in the end enjoyed it very much, wanted to curl up and run away as the choir got everyone joining in by clapping, swinging with the music.

Shame after a hectic week of entertaining, sight seeing, music going, emergency doctors, wine and dining ... it's back to work on Monday. Ahhh well that's how it goes.
