Another guy I love. He's just so great and friendly in his shows. I was all girly and giggly when I met him outside his last show in Dublin. The poor guy was smothered with the flu but still had a great show.
He really deserves much more attention than he gets. Don't think he wont the Ivor but it's still brilliant that he was nominated.
Never really listened to the Last Shadow Puppets oddly enough. Hmmmm....must go get some of their stuff.

Anyone made it to any of the shows so far in London or York?

The set list last night was something like this...

Coney
Do You Want To Come With?
What's That You Say Little Girl
San Francisco Blues
Bad Bad You, Bad Bad Me (aborted!)
Scar
Run
Play
Darlin' Don't
(New song)
Emily
The Ground Beneath Your Feet
Lost Without You
New York

William Shatner's Dog
Bad Bad You, Bad Bad Me
- (from Magpie, which he introduced as 'Sicknote')

He was on great form. Vocally sounding better than ever. When asked when the new album would be out he said there wouldn't be one. I hope he was joking.

He took great pleasure in encouraging the drunk heckles from a South African couple, probably to the detriment of everyone else's enjoyment of the show by the end.

Ahh cheers for that we couldn't make it as we had tickets for Johnny.
I thought Guy mentioned something on the wiresleess about Stephen working with a new band and something coming out next year, rather than something solo!

I was at York and the setlist looks pretty much the same if not identical. The new song is apparently called Monkey (if it's the same new sog, of course). The biggest disappointment was that there was only the one new song and it was the same one as on the tour in May. Still, it was good to see the daft sod, he does handle the hecklers well.

Looks like he was referring to Howls.

Wish I knew that before I missed them at Glastonbury!

I saw them at Glasto.
They played the Old Queens Head stage on Thursday before the run of Two Door Ciname Club, Local Natives etc.

They were ok, it's different from Fretwell solo, who I adore, so maybe I need to give them a second chance, but they didn't take my breath away, Stephen's voice didn't sound too good either.

It's good to have Fretwell back. Anyone made it to any of this tour yet? He was on form in London last night. My only complaint would be the shortness of the set!

Rose
Coney
San Francisco Blues
Darlin' Don't
Bad Bad You, Bad Bad Me
Run
Emily
(New song - interrupted by sound problems)
Play
Lines
(2nd attempt at same new song)

William Shatner's Dog
The Ground Beneth Your Feet

Judging by the set list he doesn't seem to be any closer to that next album!

I believe he's playing Deaf Institute in Manchester on Monday with Badly Drawn Boy and Jesca Hoop. Manc types should get down.

Ah thank you for that, I was wondering what the set lists were looking like.
We were suppossed to get to Liverpool but didn't make it in the end. I bet Bush Hall was the ideal venue for him.

The Manchester show is this Sunday, can't wait!
