And you’re my left handed girl

Despite knowing in advance that James Yuill (supporting the brilliant Peter Bjorn & John) were coming to play in the Melkweg tonight.

I forgot to get tickets!

I have been following James Yuill via Twitter and his blog on his tour around Europe with PBJ.

And today when I realised that he was in Amsterdam playing the Melkweg, I freaked and went straight to Melkweg site … that lovely word greeted me

Uitverkocht – Sold Out

Gigs are cheap enough here , as you see €14 for two class acts, but they sell out fast, even on a School night!
And even more so if you feck off to Ireland for a week and forget to get your ticket! Doh!

So I sent a tweet or two but to no avail…
I even hung around at the venue, but it was such a horrid night that there were no tickets to be had

I came home, made tea…. had a purple snack bar, my band aid to the worst of emotional “owies” and tried to think of things other than the fact that I was missing the gig. I was briefly cheered to find that a few of my mates are fans too. Then Twitter broke again, and I had to find something else to do.

I settled with my Barry’s and Cadburys to lick my wounds and watch TV, United States of Tara, to be exact.

But James’s yearning folktronica beats kept calling me out…

I had thought this post might be something else, but now its…

A big James Yuil love-in!

Just a final thing, I first heard about James from the very cool and wonderful smelling Barrie Willliams on his Blog, Hearcanal

Pop over and see what gems Barrie will uncover for you.
