This theatre show some of the best acting I have ever seen, anywhere ever – it is so intense! It has made me an instant fan of the National Theatre.

Nick Cave was clever, vulnerable, sharp and sometimes strikingly obnoxious. Reminded me of shots of Bowie touring America in a limo on his Young Americans era. Florence’s place is a treat, crafted by her alone. NUMA very relaxing to listen to. Thanks for the shoe-ins!

No worries Kev I’m so glad you liked them, yeah Cave has that same energy as Bowie – mysterious, dangerous, intelligent, it’s a dynamite combo that makes people lose their minds! I see what you mean about Young Americans era Bowie…is that the Thin White Duke persona? I can definitely see the similarity. More stuff to come Kev, hope you like the next ones, it will be a weekly series. Take care xx

The Florence Welch video was so relaxing. Her house is like an enchanting cottage out of a fairy tale. I’ve also been watching the National Theatre’s productions each week (although I missed Frankenstein!) and they’re always good. My fav so far has been Treasure Island! Thanks for all these suggestions.
