The majestic Florence and the Machine at Ally Pally, London on Thursday night.  Dressed in a Dracula-esque cape and black feline all-in-one, Florence Welch held the audience in the palm of her hand.  Mesmerising. Tick. Haunting. Tick. Magnificent? Abso-blooming-lutely.

imwithkanye: Adele: One and Only | Vogue “Adele is not rock-’n’-roll. She is not self-consciously retro. She does not shimmy or shake. Hers is a plant-the-feet-and-belt delivery that has all but disappeared from the pop landscape. It should be deeply uncool. And yet, there is something startlingly refreshing about her youthful elegance and commanding presence—especially because she is a 23-year-old Cockney girl from Tottenham.”

What a thoughtful and generous spirit Stephen Fry is to pen this to a stranger.  A little kindness goes a long way.
