Massive Attack

Last night we went to see Massive Attack in Brixton. We booked into the Marriott in Marble Arch had a swim and used the spa and got ready for Mark and Jack. M and J were in good form we had a few glasses of champers and headed out on the town. We only needed to get 2 tubes, but there were problems on the system and we ended getting 5... We had a great laugh and the underground was packed we met loads of nice people and it was a real adventure. We had to walk from Stockwell station up Brixton high street and got to the Academy at 9-00pm. We had a drink outside and got in, I went straight to the t shirt stall and lost the others. Jen couldnt get in as she had the wrong ticket, but in the end we all got in. The venue is amazing its so steep the floor anywhere you stand you get a great view. The gig took a while to warm up but they were stormin. On the way back we got the last tube home and Tyson got off on the wrong station and we waved to him through the window. We got back to the hotel the same time as Tyson (in a cab) and had a drink in the bar. We saw a mouse in the bar and are going to try and get a refund. The bar shut so we grabbeda few bottles and sat outside the hotel. Tyson was in his usual rambling mode and fell down some steps and hurt his ankle, no one helped him we just all laughed. Overall it was a great night and we went to bed around 2-00am.



Horrace Andy was on form and Shara Nelson was back with the band. The next day Jen and I walked down Edgeware Road all along Oxford Street down to Holbourn, across to Covent Garden through China Town then Soho and back to the hotel via Regents Street. We walked about seven miles and then went out for a steak and ended up in a Witherspoons chatting to a couple of Big Issue sales people from Birmingham.















Jen left early and I stayed on and went to see District 9 before walking to my hotel in Bloomsbury Avenue. After spending a week in London I must have looked at home as tourists were coming up to me and asking me for directions.
