Norah Jones


My second post about a concert... Virus got us Norah Jones tickets. We spent most of the day doing some DIY and were very tired but we knew the concert was seated so considering how tired we were that was definately a blessing... We got there well before time and decided to go for a drink in a close by pub. It wasnt very cold and we sat outside and just looked at the people...we were trying to figure out why people was queuing if the seats were allocated... we checked our tickets to make sure we werent wrong and we werent...so we just carry on seating there... Then we realised we never ever bump into anyone we know in a concert, why would that be? people we know doesnt like concerts as much as we do? is it our music taste? is not that different i'll say is actually quiet wide so ... uhmm.. who knows!?. Time to get in... seats were upstairs we thought they were down but the view wasnt bad... The support act started (mward) it was ok, the guy has a nice voice and plays the guitar very well... its a solo act which makes it a bit dull for me at times (He and someone else i think ill prefer... )guy said hello and started talking and a girl came out, she was wearing jeans, a plain two colours top and high heels, hair in a pony tale... it was quiet dark. She started singing and Virus and I looked at eachother.. hold on... is that Norah Jones?!? nooooo.. couldnt be... she didnt even say Hello? and there is no band, no lights no nothing.... the song ended and the guy said "Ladies and Gentleman" Norah Jones! people applauded but i think some were as confused as i was.. I couldnt help but think, Norah i love your voice and like your songs, and maybe you are timid, i really dont know but you ought to say Hello!?!?... people came and pay to see you!? song finished and she just walked back in..(up to this point, not a word, nothing) weird... guy finished playing. After a bit, lights went on, curtains open, there were some stars hanging from the ceiling.. a piano in the middle, a band in the back... ah now we are talking!! Norah comes out wearing a red dress, she says Hello... she says thanks for coming, she jokes a bit! aha! im happy now... i like you again Norah.. LOL... the concert carried on, starting with ' Come away with me' and after a mixture of songs from different cd's.... cool.... There was a chinese looking girl in the band that amazed us, she played the piano, the bass, did the back voice, the flute?! i mean.. proper Multi tasking this was! :)

It was quiet dark and i couldnt take many pictures...my camera is not thaaaaaaat good... so here is a sepia one i did and in my blog in spanish there is a colour one... (the red spot is Norah.. i swear!) lol....

Dolores O'Riordan

I love music! a very very very common phrase... so i promise im not going to finish this sentence with a: no but i reaaaaaaally do. LOL!
Simply i really enjoy music! Music chills me out... disconnects me... whenever i need to chill or cheer up i just need to listen or dance to some music! If there was ever a cartoon character created based on me it would have to have a pair of earphones on or very near by...
I'll easily spend my money going to concerts... for me is a very well spent money! what can i say.. music just does the trick! Whenever i go to a concert i think, 'if i had a blog i could make a post about this one!.. so now that i have one i thought i ll start making posts about them... I will be posting about a few i have had the chance to go to, recently or ages ago..it doesnt matter! so this is my first one and its about Dolores O'Riordan's concert!! Dolores is the lead singer of a band i really like (The cramberries).She recently released her first solo album called 'Ordinary day' and its pretty good! I must admit i had my doubts about going to this one or not, she only has one album and i coudlnt work out if she was going to sing the whole album?!? or what? finnally we went....and Thanks God we did! Loved the concert, she sang loads of songs from The Cramberries! After all they are her songs! (not sure how i didnt work that out).. Also sang the new ones... a mixture.
We jumped, sang, danced, screamed! The room was small and we were very near the stage... There was a small group near us and they were very funny! i love this small venues! specially with someone as famous as her on stage! It was a fantastic night... definately a night to remember... This is one of our piccies from that night...
