Paloma Faith

I went to see Paloma Faith play at Shepherds Bush Empire on Wednesday night. We had an OK dinner at the Princes Victoria Pub on Uxbridge Road, great building, great wine list but the prawns were all head and no body...more shrunk than shrimp. I arrived at the gig a little hungry and desperate for a pee after filling up on fizzy water. Waiting in the queue, the Paloma Faithfuls were all dressed up and very over excited to see their glamorous idol. The Faithfuls in front of me were chatting away about their favourite songs,the 5 star reviews and what she might be wearing. If their specialised subject on Master Mind was Paloma Faith, these guys would score seriously high, but the general knowledge round however.... 'Have you heard of that band The Cure?'said Faithful 1. 'No' said Faithful 2. 'Oh they were this band, like from years ago, the bloke in it, he had like mad hair and stuff and lip stick... I only know him coz I've got like really old brothers'. Boys Don't Cry but I sure felt like it.
