The ticket to see Florence + the Machine was the only one I’d had to resort to GetMeIN to get – and it was worth the extra cost. I do wish a method of ensuring tickets get to music lovers rather than the touts could be found – maybe some form of loyalty scheme you can only take advantage of if you actually attend the event! “The XX” hadn’t appealed enough to pay the price premium for their sold out appearance in the series and was the only one I missed.
| | The entertainment began with Holly Miranda – who really didn’t seam to be up to playing to an audience awaiting Florence. Of all the support acts so far she was the first not get any rapport from the crowd – even the Icelandic folk music got a better reception! It continued with the stage crew trying to get the curtain installed to ensure a smoky start to Florence’s performance would actually fall down to prevent the breeze from displacing the stage smoke… |
| Then with the added tension of whether the impromptu smoke retainer would manage to drop to reveal Florence the main show began… Florence represent the current generation of 20 something female British pop/rock vocalists – that include the likes of Lily Allen, Ellie Goulding and Little boots – very capably. She had the largest backing group of any of her piers – but they filled the courtyard of Somerset House with a great modern sound. | |
