Very funny in Room 101.

I've got to say I always find Paloma a very talented person & has a lot of interesting things to say. Much more interesting than the slightly overrated Adele, for intstance.

She is an excellent performer, but performer feels like the key, I've seen her live a few times and whilst good it's a little fake. One of her best friends is lead singer from Noisettes. I think The Noisettes are the most underrated group, possibly, ever. Patrick wolf live (again) but acoustic in a few days. Can't wait.

I absolutely love Patrick Wolf.

Fantastic intimate Patrick Wolf gig last night. Definitely one of the most exciting/talented artists around.

He cited the gig as one of his favorites for a long time, it was in a church as opposed to the usual O2 Academy type venues. Good support from solo singer Abi Wade too.

Yesterday's intimate public gig was preceded by a performance in front of Prince Charles who was in Oxford to visit trainee clergy. He was apparently fascinated by Wolf's hair. Wolf performed a poem he wrote over the weekend to Charles and later to us, written to question the way we treat our precious countryside/green spaces.

Sublime.

I know exactly what you mean - I've only ever seen her "live on TV" (as opposed to live-live), but she always seems to be imitating a pop singer, rather than actually being one...

All credit to her PR people though, she's permanently on TV or in the press...
