2015 is shaping up to be an exciting year!
- I meet the Game of Thrones cast and attend a red carpet event….
- I am going to meet Richard Dean Anderson in July..
- I am seeing Astronautalis next month …
- AND yesterday I got to see Mumford & Sons live in an intimite gig…
On Thursday I got an email saying that tickets for a tiny
gig were going on sale on Friday at 10am… the show was Monday night and it was
in the Brighton corn exchange (less than 2,000 people)
I frantically got up as many screens as I could and waited
between 9:30-10am refreshing waiting for the tickets to go on sale. I managed
to grab two I was soo insanely excited I was shaking SO much I couldn't enter
my card number. I believe within minutes they were sold out so I was very lucky
and CRAZY excited!
So I finished work half hour early yesterday and speed home
to get dressed and my sister picked me up. I picked one of my favorite dresses (my duck dress). I scoffed a sandwich and crisps in
the car for my dinner and we drove down to Brighton. The doors opened at 7pm
and the band came on at 8:30pm but I wanted to get there as soon as possible.
We queued for a while I think we got there about 6:45pm and
we got in quite quickly. The rule was because it was before the album was released
you weren't allowed to take any phones or recording devices in. We opted to
leave our phones in the car rather than handing them in.
We went straight through and my sister’s eye was caught on
the merch stand. She very nicely bought me a t-shirt as they were a little
steep in price for me as I am saving and we took our place in the crowd maybe
only 6 or so rows back from the front.
We took it in turns to pee and Sarah got us water and we
wait until 8:30pm. I was glad there was no support band because I usually get a
bit bored through that bit.
They came on and they were just amazing… and the crowd was
great too really nice people. I jumped and danced like I had never danced
before.

The night was just so amazing. Lion Man was the highlight, the crowd and the atmosphere went crazy!
It was also the first time I had a enough confidence to take my cardigan off and jump around with my arms in the air and I didn't even care..... which is a huge step for me.
It was amazing to hear such a good mix of old songs and the new ones sounded fab! I cannot WAIT to get the new album. They sounded amazing and they are just exceptionally talented men!
We tried to get a set list at the end but was unsuccessful! We did however ask if we could have a bag that you got when you handed in your phone as they were super cute and they gave us one each! yay!
Because we weren't allowed phones in the venue we didn't get any pictures of the gig alas. We did take some VERY EXCITABLE snaps in the car though before we left (we were very happy with parking too 2 minutes down the road and £4.50)
I had an absolutely AMAZING NIGHT! MANY HUGE thank yous to my sister for coming and for my T-Shirt made my night it really did!
I CANNOT wait for them to announce their tour I will be first in line for that!
Now today is a dull day and the gym this evening even though I am knackered, but it was more than worth it!
