Ben Lee
When you're overwhelming negative and condescending about most things it's very, very hard to say something positive about anything without sounding like your indulging in some serious hero-worship, and all the fellatio that normally entails.
So understand this. I'm not sucking anyone off, ever. I do know people that will do that for you though, they don't charge much.
I really, really enjoyed Ben Lee.
It was a small 400 (or so) person affair. Lovely and intimate, with the little accoustic guitar going and everything like that. Hey, the man could even chat to the crowd in such a special way that it felt likee he was one of us, rather than another breed altogether up there on the stage.
I cannot rave enough about these people and the their music. Go and buy now.
We ended up backstage. I know someone (well Lara's parents). That was weird. So weird we forgot to get any photos. Except this:
(Ben is in the doorway and Lara is sat on the couch).
I'm not in love with Ben and Lara. But I could be. Very easily.
If Ben Lee comes to your town go. If you see these people, be nice and give them money because being this good deserves it.
