I didn’t recognise quite a lot of the stuff he was playing later but it ranged from deep sleazy house to banging techno to scarface esque disco. I did start to lose interest around 3am probably due to being elderly. Shazam wasn’t much use but I managed to grab a couple.

Sounds great. Sad I couldn’t make it. I think Harvey always brings it tbh. You can feel that he puts the effort in.

I didn’t pay much attention to the people hovering around behind him on the night but looking at back at some of the footage you’re right there seemed to be loads of VIP bits on the balconies and on the stage which was all a bit wanky. It was definitely too rammed as well. Koko looks amazing now though. I hadn’t been there for years.

How was brilliant corners? Have only been once but it was very good. Definitely need to make another night there.

It was actually really good, if I do say so myself. The late running ones are so much fun. Should be doing more of them with Brian in the future.

Billy Idol always puts on a great performance. Saw him here in Ireland few years ago, brilliant night.

Nice to hear Nile and Billy remain good friends even without the gak binding them together!

Saw André 3000 last night at a nice outdoor venue by the waterfront. It was clear from the beginning that many people thought this was an Outkast related affair. I noted that the venue, maybe 1000 people, was reduced to less than half by the time the show ended. But, it was a great experience - I don’t get out to much improv jazz, and it was nice to stay in the musical zone (amid all of the grumbling about what the hell was going on). There were some amazing musical moments, lots of whaling, spirits were released, and plenty of quiet that allowed the whole ensemble to breathe. Lovely stuff.

Any tips for a day in Helsinki next Friday?

The good lady wife is away this weekend, so very tempted by this. Especially as it’s just up the road.
