Lily Allen -
University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Sun. 22nd October Ally picked me up and we made our way to the union. Got there just as the support band started - this was a little treat as I wasn't expecting it. The New Young Pony Club, they were quite good. God Bless Helen. I had a total of 4 pints all night long and I was out from 7pm until 10.30pm so I was quite impressed with myself. The union was quite busy and we were stood off to the right but had a decent view. I like Lily Allen so I shall have to say that I thought she was excellent. I know a lot of people seem to hate her but I like her voice and I like her songs, it's that simple really. She played all the tracks I wanted to hear. My favourite 2 were Not Big & her cover of Naive. I’m 96% sure that Not Big was written about me. She was also quite amusing between songs which made me get a little bit hard. There were some funny charvers in there - strange mix. Child charver and then 2 middle aged ones. They were battered and dancing by jumping on the spot and doing chicken things with their arms - they weren't taking the piss either - they meant it. Like it was good. I managed to snap a couple of pictures but had to use Ally to avoid being kicked in.
The only downside to the evening was that I had the best plan I have ever had and I fucked it up by forgetting the critical piece of it at home. I was gutted because it would have gone down a treat and would have raised a few chuckles as she was up for some banter. The plan involved these:
And me throwing them into her face. I’m fairly certain this would have seen
me invited back stage for either sex or a kicking. I will definitely go back and see her again. She needs some more tunes but then again I liked her covers. A lot.
