Gig Of T' Week And A Trip Oop North

[joggerjayne]

Ee oop, lads.

Just to prove to thee all that ah does travel oop north sometimes ...

During the week, we got the train to St Albans, and went to see Chantel McGregor in a place up there called Harpenden. A phenomenal blues rock guitarist.

Then, last night, we saw Rosie Lowe and her band at the Green Door Store, just up the road here. Some seriously good electro R&B.

Which gives me a dilemma. Which of two great gigs is Gig Of The Week?

If only because it was the first ever gig in their current format, I'm going to say ... Rosie Lowe ...

... so that, when she's a megastar, you can all remember ... JJ saw her first ever gig.

OOP ere int north my gig of the week was Bella Hardy, who looks and sings like an angel. Followed it up by seeing Mark Steel who's a fine comedian.

If that's your idea of 'oop North' JJ gawd help us if you went to Yorkshire..........

[joggerjayne]

Wow, carrust ...

I never get any other nominations for GOTW !

I've just watched a YouTube clip of Bella Hardy. She's got a great voice.

[joggerjayne]

Welshy, if you sit on a train heading directly north for two hours, clearly one must have 'gone oop north'

Staands to reason, dannit!

Oh sorry, that's London.

Which is still fairly up north.

[mushroom25]

St Albans - for someone who's probably never lived north of Horsham, that's practically Scotland isn't it, the noo see you jimmy......

[mrs_overall]

"oop north"....chortle

[joggerjayne]

Isn't it Goth Weekend this weekend, Mrs O ?

[joggerjayne]

Horsham is quite a long way up from here. I mean, you wouldn't want to walk it carrying shopping.

[jourdain2]

Forget carrying the shopping, jogger. St. Albans is 'way down south' to me and I'm a Yorkshire lass. It's next door to London isn't it? (Hate to think what the Northumbrians and Scots will ripost if they read this!)

[jourdain2]

It might be Goth weekend in Whitby - is that where you are Mrs.O?

[tonyav]

St Albans 1, somewhere near France isn't it.

yes jourdain, Mrs O is in Whitby.

[joggerjayne]

St Albans is waaaay north of London.

[tonyav]

But is it South of Watford, jj ?.

[lardhelmet]

Anywhere further north than Watford is oop north to me.

[Baldric]

St Albans Def. North of Watford!

[tonyav]

Still wayyyy Sauffff to me though.

[joggerjayne]

Ya, it's a lot north of Watford.

[tonyav]

Doh.

[Baldric]

Many miles JJ, almost into double figures I believe!

[lardhelmet]

It's got a nice Verulamium though.
