And of course I'm hoping to see her again some time :-) Dave... don't you mean the top of my hair? ;-) Well the afterparty sounds great and I’m kind of sorry I missed it in one way but in another I reckon the memory of the gutter gig is quite good on its own.

I think I recognize the top of her head. If I’m not mistaken, we can actually see rr in the video as she shoots the photos displayed in her own blog, no? I think I recognize the top of her head.

It is indeed a shame that we missed that. The complicating factor, which I simplified in the review for the sake of brevity, is that we only had one ticket between the two of us, which we'd managed to buy from someone a few minutes before it became obvious what was happening. Maybe we could have bought another one in the aftermath of the pavement session, but we hadn't been particularly bowled over by the two support acts when we'd checked them out on MySpace earlier in the day. So, in theory, with only one ticket we weren't actually in a position to contemplate going into the venue anyway. We were happy with what we'd seen and wary of anti-climax, so we made our choice. Very glad to hear that the after-show was opened up to the audience. That's a really nice touch. Matt – thanks for your kind comment and for the update on what happened later.

King Charles & Noah and The Whale were both great (even if solely for the Noah and The Whale quotes : "This venues a nice place, but it seems to me that worse things have probably happened here than having a 17year old play guitar" (the venue was basically a strip bar)) And towards the end they announced that they'd found a pub in Chinatown where Laura and a few others would be playing later, and that the afterparty was open to anyone from the gig.....cue impromptu acoustic gig with Laura stood in the center of the crowd until the band (and King Charles, Noah and The Whale etc) joined her and they played a few songs together on stage. In the gutter, stood in a crowd, or on stage.....she still sounded beautiful cool review
