Oh my days! I didn't know about these - thank you Polly!

But damn...i live so close to Stoke Newington and coulda gone last night if i'd known...shiiit.

But Gina Birch at Spitz? Put me down for that.

And why does Berlin get to see the whole band, eh? Not that i don't love the place but no fair!!! AND it's a GREAT venue...*sigh* Lucky, lucky people...

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to pretty polly again."

I was going to see Ana da Silva yesterday and even bought the ticket, but my friend Anna just got back from China, when I was about to leave the house and I ended up going for dim sums with her.

But Gina is definitely on my list! And I envy Berlin madly!

Good for Gina, I hope this isn't enirely a matter of cash.

Kind of off-topic but does anyone know when this new Monks documentary is being released? I've read some good reviews but I haven't seen it yet.
