My headline says it. We were not able to get tickets to Manchester - and I read the reviews and wished SO much we'd been there.
I heard my first Rickie Lee Jones track in 1979 and wanted to see her perform so much I nearly sold our home to book the Sydney Entertainment Centre - on the speculative possibility of persuading her to come to Sydney. My husband stopped me - he felt we needed a home more than I needed to see Rickie Lee Jones. We STILL disagree on this.
Maybe one day she'll come back to the UK and play a little closer to Brighton and I'll be there. Mind you, by then I'll probably be a little old Metal Lady with all possible moveable joints replaced. (God, I hate getting old). But at least wheelchairs usually get a seat at the front!
I feel so sad I missed out this time. An Amazing performer - her spot on the Arts programme exuded such amazing life affirming and raw energy it was stunning. Mind you, I did want to slap the little girlie reporter for being so damned callow. ldp
