… but i’m not a hamster…

one of the unfortunate things that will stick in my mind after seeing Bill Bailey in Edinburgh – not like in the street or anything, at the Playhouse actually.  That Killers track will never be the same…

Bill showed what a talented musician he is and what great use of technology he could make in a very funny show.  Don’t want to spoil his material for anyone but we did laugh a lot… although there wasn’t much other noise… which brings me to a discussion we had about Edinburgh/Glasgow audiences (see Guillemots in May!).  I would expect Bill to have had a lot more banter and heckling if he was performing in Glasgow.  I don’t know what impact this would have had on the show, but some of the funniest moments were when he went off on one… following some twisted tangent before ending up in a bit of a comedy Cul de Sac and reversing back to the original line of thought!

Thom Yorke must be gutted… a cover of Creep featuring some Bhangra Beat band with a sitar duel… who’d have thought…
