A real good treat!The set opened with Utopia, all sang pitch perfect. They also did my favourite song EVER! Deerstop, from the first album, Felt Mountain. Every time i hear that song i get goosebumps...

What a voice! One minute it's operatic, the next it's stomping anthemic pop such as the infectious Strict Machine.
No miming here! This woman is a genuine talent and she oozes charisma, sex appeal, imagine Kylie with a bigger, more powerful voice and you get the idea.
Quite why Alison Goldfrapp is not a household name is beyond me but from what i heard tonight that may well change.

The single Ooh La La is out now, and one listen and it will be in your head all day. And the new album looks to be full of radio friendly romps that just may squeak into the top 10.

If you went, i bet you left singing " i need ooh la la la la la
i need ooh la la la la" I did.

Did you not find it was over far too soon?

It was a bit, yes. But i enjoyed every minute. It was only their second gig in a year, but i do remember a much longer set at the Octagon when they released Black Cherry.
Maybe she was nervous!

did you try Jack's records?
Probably way too late, i booked mine 3 weeks ago and was told they only had a few left.:o
I've seen them twice now and i think they're the best value band going. Just as long as they play Utopia, UK Girls and Deerstop i'm happy.
Truly mesmerising!

Still looking if anyone can help..!
