Right, my review of all the 11 shows I saw in 11 days can be found at: http://aheartcanstopabullet.blogspot.com/ .
Since then, I have been to Dublin (as mentioned in a previous post), I've seen Architecture in Helsinki, Los Campesinos! (dodgy acoustics and very short set marred my enjoyment, although 'You! Me! Dancing!' was still a joy and French-Canadian support act Malajube were fucking ACE), The Concretes (the hot Swedish lead singer commended me on my badges mid-set, how cool am I!) and Andrew Bird (stunning, stunning musician although he didn't play Dark Matter or Palindromes because of time constraints and that made me very sad). Then I went to Bristol to visit Saggi (had a very nice drink at a bar overlooking Clifton Gorge) then travelled to meet Roger in Cardiff, where I admired the fantastic architecture (and all the Doctor Who locations- I saw most of the statues from 'Blink'!) and was amazed by the opulence of Cardiff Castle. I also saw a 21-gun salute for Prince Philip's birthday, which isn't quite as exciting as it sounds, although it was very loud.
In summary, it's been a pretty busy three weeks.
