Weekend of ups 'n' downs.....

The down being on Saturday when the Welsh rugby team came back down to 6 Nations earth with a very large thump. A disappointing performance but England thoroughly deserved their victory - although the final scoreline did flatter them somewhat.
On Sunday I went to see Katie Melua live at the Cardiff International Arena. An all-seated affair (which makes a change from the usual concerts that I attend). The support act was pretty average but at 8:30 Katie came on stage ...... and she was fantastic! Her voice comes across much more powerfully live than on CD. With a variety of moods from blues to jazz to semi-rock, and some great covers with a different slant (covers such as The Beatles' Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Bobby Gentry's Fancy, The Cure's Just Like Heaven, and even Babylon Zoo's Spaceman) she had the audience in the palm of her hand. A beautiful performance from a beautiful perfomer.
