Fairport Convention – Wyvern Theatre, Swindon

Posted at 11:34 pm, Friday March 2, 2012 by rich

It’s that Wintour time of year again, so we made the annual pilgrimage to Swindon to see Fairport Convention.

Support tonight came from Kieran Goss who chatted and played songs for 20 minutes or so before being joined on stage by Fairport Convention for his last song, Reach Out I’ll be There by the Four Tops. Fairport stayed on stage and played for 45 minutes or so before the break, and another 75 minutes or so afterwards.

The majority of the set tonight came from their latest studio album, By Popular Request and it’s predecessor Festival Bell. As always, the support act joined them on stage for the encore, the obligatory rendition of Meet on the Ledge. Same again next year?

#14 – The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Posted at 6:34 pm, Monday February 27, 2012 by rich

I’m not a big fan of the Lord of the Rings films, so this is just a box-ticking exercise really, albeit a rather long one.

Can some-one wake me about 10pm when it’s finished?

Much discussion has taken place on the interwebs about the Fujifilm X10 "white orb problem", these ones in a photo I took last night are very obvious :)

A second foray into the world of the silent movie. Nearly half-way through the list now.

#116 – Fargo

It’s been a few years since I last saw this. Good film, but the accents aren’t half irritating.

#134 – Ratatouille

Posted at 7:17 pm, Thursday January 26, 2012 by rich

By far my least favourite Pixar movie, I didn’t really like it at all on first viewing. Time to give it one more try.
