Rain can’t Knock `Em Out

From Lily Allen - Somerset House 2009
It would appear that good music prevents even the heaviest of rain from dampening the spirits of an audience. Somerset House is not far from home, so I was determine to take the venue up on its pledge that the show would go on what ever the weather – and it was well worth it. Not sure who would have been colder – the soaking wet audience or Lily Allen in her skimpy little outfit – the music kept us all warm…

Unlike my previous evening of entertainment with Lily, when I was struggling to keep awake due to jet lag, the rain was an antidote to any thoughts of sleep. Not that with Lily on stage there was any danger of that!

All in all, it was well worth the soaking. Somerset House is a great venue in the middle of the city – I’ll be going to more events – already booked for next weekend for Super Furry Animals. And Lily certainly can warm up an audience – even in the pouring rain.
