When: Thursday 8th March
Where: Alexandra Palace
 |
| Go with the Flo. |
Why: Because Florence is my homegirl
Alexandra Palace is up a massive hill. Not many bands could
induce me to drag myself up that incline of a Thursday night, when I could be
sat in my kitchen wearing my bunny slippers, but for Florence I’ll do anything.
I’d seen her at the Isle of Wight festival in June 2010 where she secured a
permanent place in my heart and established herself securely as a figure of
musical worship. She (and her brilliant band) are one of those acts who you
would go to see again and again and seriously never get sick of it. Loved the
gospel choir and the strings section, the latter of which gave the most
beautiful intro to ‘You’ve got the love’ ever. I also very much approved of her
stage outfit – I’ve been saying for years that we should bring back full on
long capes. Nice one Flo.
Support from The
Horrors, who I have heard good things about but whom we entirely missed out
of sheer excitement and having a small explore of Al Pal and its bar
facilities. Sorry guys.
There really isn’t much more to say because she speaks for
herself really. Go and buy ‘Ceremonials’ now if for some ridiculous reason you’ve
not heard it yet.
