Well, here’s your lucky day…
For reasons hinted at in the bottom photograph, my memories of Blur in Hyde Park on Friday are possibly not as sharp as they should be – but bloody hell, what an evening.
I was concerned that it could be a bit embarrassing, a desperate attempt to hang onto past glories; and that’d just be the crowd. But that couldn’t have been further from how it actually was – simply a glorious night of fun on a baking summer evening in London. Great memories are made of nights like this. (Except when you drink too much Tuborg in the sunshine. Ooops.)
Top t-shirt of the evening – these natty Vote Dave garments – they’ll be seen again in the West End between now and next May…
Hmm, it was the pear cider as what was my downfall . . .
I was doing really well, then absolutely HAD to go to the loo at the beginning of the encore – got back just in time for Song 2 though! It was indeed a great gig – much better than I had expected, having seen their Glastonbury highlights on iPlayer.
