Ho-leee shit. What a gig. Fucking Bristol though... That was one of the worst crowds I've ever been in- I've gone to wakes with more atmosphere. It was filled with drunk old blokes disinterested in the actual music and just trying to mosh (appallingly I might add), parents and their teenage kids (so neither wanting to let their hair down too much), and nearly the whole front two/three rows were filled with people who were apparently stood in solemn meditation instead of being out to enjoy themselves. British Sea Power were a bit 'eh', but I've seen them before so used my time to wisely stock up with drinks at the bar.  Watch out for the bear. Editors... Wow. They're one of my favourite bands, and having never been able to see them (I've been out of country/poor/ill etc.) tonight was a near-religious experience for me. Helped that I found myself front row. They really are a fantastic band live, Tom Smith is just enthralling as a frontman. Soon as I got home I checked to see if the London gig was sold out yet. It is  Enjoy the gig Bob's Orange, I fooking wish I could go again this tour... So saw Editors last night at Brixton. I think Honky's summation was pretty accurate. I actually thought British Sea Power were very poor, not helped by the fact their 2 singers are tone deaf. The bear probably saved them to be honest. Editors were excellent, a good mix of new and old songs. Tom Smith really does give his all and he's an excellent front man. Great lights and sound at Brixton, going back there on Tuesday for Jimmy Eat World. |

Taking my daughter to a gig in camden this coming Thursday, getting the oxford tube into London. We are going to the London eye, dungeons etc before the gig, Question 1: what is the nearest coach station to go to, and will I need to take the underground from said station to the London eye, Question 2: when we have taken in the delights of the London eye etc, what underground connections do I need to. Reach camden,  |

Wrong coach station but use Thornhill park & ride instead of fucking about getting into the city centre and parking there. Thornhill is free and there's plenty of parking.

Can't comment on the coach I'm afraid.
If you're checking out London Eye etc. then Waterloo station is probably easiest- embankment'd work too if you end up on the North side of the river. Camden Town's on the Northern line and can get super busy at peak hours as it's not a big station.
