These are my friends, see how they glisten

“There was a barber and his wife …”

Wooohooooo!!!!!

It’s arrived! Yep Sweeney Todd is in my DVD player even as I write. I am sure you can imagine the excitement I’m feeling at seeing it again. After all it’s been just over two months since I last saw it (blimey doesn’t time fly!) although of course I have listened to the soundtrack rather a lot since then. All together now “It’s priest. Have a little priest …”

I have to mention the I Am Kloot concert on Tuesday, which was completely fantastic. Now I know I always say that but they really were on excellent form. Heavier than usual too which made a nice change. I noticed that Johnny changed the words to every one of the old songs in some way and several of them were played differently which was nice, but he’s keeping the ones from Moolah Rouge the same at the moment – probably a good move when they’re touring to promote the album. I was a bit disappointed that some of my favourite tracks from the new album weren’t played but as any Kloot track is a great track it was all good. Roll on next Tuesday when we get to do it all again!

IAK had a support act this time, the fabulously named Ferraby Lionheart (yep you heard it right) and I rather liked him. Mrs H3 very definitely didn’t. A solo singer-songwriter in the vein of David Mead he was right up my street although I was finding the chatting of the crowd through his set very off-putting, so I don’t know how he must have felt, poor man. I can see his album “Catch the Brass Ring” heading my way very shortly (probably next Tuesday to be precise), although I’m guessing Mrs H3 won’t want a copy.

Before all you Ferraby Lionheart fans (that’s you Tracy) kick off. Somewhere someone (Tracy) gave me the impression that Ferraby Lionheart was like Eddy Grant! Therefore, I think we can understand why I was feeling a tiny bit disappointed.

What would an 80's reggae/pop singer be doing at an IAK concert anyway?! I should've known better but I am known for letting my imagination run riot.

*LOL*

Where did me telling you he was going to be NOTHING LIKE Eddy Grant transfer into he's going to be like Eddy Grant?

And let's face it he was a damn sight better than Eddy Grant
