I have managed to secure tickets to see the new revamped Penguin Cafe (Orchestra) fronted by Arthur Jeffes at the Barbican next February. Here’s a clip of them I found on YouTube (innit marvellous?) of them playing the RAH last week:
Even better is that the concert is being opened by another favourite of mine: The Portico Quartet.
I have front row tickets so there’s a good chance I’ll be staring right up Arthur Jeffes’ trouser leg. Even better is that the concert almost coincides (by a week or so) with my fortieth birthday.
So if everything goes to plan and nothing cataclymic happens (and there is a good chance of that considering what happening here at the moment), I’ll be heading to London next February!!!
Of course, if it all goes wrong I’ll post the bloody tickets on eBay for a massive profit…
Fingers crossed, eh?
A Dream Gig!
Well good luck getting there Darren and thanks for introducing me to The Portico Quartet.
Lovely song song the play, reminds me a bit of Jan Garbarek.
