Paradiso
Tuesday night was a walk down memory lane for my mum, and a wicked night of great music for me. We went to see a concert at quite rightly legendary Paradiso in Amsterdam - the place where she went to see many a concert during her student days in the late 70s. What I would do to have seen the Sex Pistols, Jonathan Richman, Blondie, the Talking Heads, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, the Police or the Specials!! And we get bloody Kool & the Gang, oh, and Bryan Adams, how could I forget?
It was one awesome place; a former church with the huge stained glass windows still intact and a stage that was right up next to the audience. No seats-they're for old people right? A gorgeously scruffy bar in the corner and plenty of character. I loved how when we walked we were able to hand over our jackets to be hung up and then pick them up at the end. .
The guy we went to see was a man named Tony Joe White, a semi ancient Louisiana "swamp rocker" who wrote the hit A Rainy Night in Georgia, which has been sung, among others, by Randy Crawford and Ray Charles. Although I had never heard of him or his music before, it was great fun in a place that I instanty loved. I'm so annoyed though - Lily Allen and the Kooks are playing next month and I won't be here (!) ¶ 2:15 am 1 comments

I'm off..
Off to one of the places I love most of all and haven't seen for too damn long. A place where anyone can feel at home, no matter who they are, where they're from or what language they speak. Amsterdam is beautiful, lowwwwwe it. I'm grinning already, so excited. The best thing is that it'll be my birthday when I'm there, what an absolutely wicked treat!
Will post pics as I get them.
Gonna miss everyone so much but will be back soon.
