When: Thursday 12th April
Where: Udderbelly, Southbank
Why: We drunkenly booked tickets for my friend’s
birthday. But because we loved them already. And because my friend fancies
Mannish.
I’ll go and see anything if it’s performed inside a massive
upside down purple cow. Anything, try me. But if it’s Frisky & Mannish then
like, double whammy, because their musical magic makes the back of my head ache
(from laughter, yeah?). I saw their PopCentre Plus show last year in Finchley
as a surprise birthday present and LOVED them. Frisky is my hair idol, she’s
got a serious little mermaid business-cut vibe going on.
There was some new material this time, including a STUNNING
Made in Chelsea rendition of No No No by Destiny’s Child (“Got me saying
no no no no no, got me saying yah yah yah yah yah”), and some Google related
puns (“You’ve got to Google for the hero inside yourself” etc). I was also
entirely won over by the Dannii Minogue version of Gotye’s Somebody that I
used to Know, and think I now prefer it to the original. Seriously, someone
should play it to Gotye, he could be onto a winner there. They also performed
my number one favourite F&M number, aka Rihanna’s Rudeboy performed
in the style of the BeeGees. Nothing not to love about this combination.
The Udderbelly pasture is also like drinking in a leprechaun’s
back garden, with loads of special flavours of Magners on tap (pear and ginger,
yes please) and dotted with toadstools and multi-coloured lanterns. I’ll be
back there on many a summer evening, I’m sure.
