In concert at the Edinburgh Playhouse - it was the most enjoyable 2.5 hours of music that I've ever had. I've been a huge fan of him since his Bit of Fry and Laurie days and as Princes George and Ludwig in Blackadder.
But it's since he played House that he's had a little more personal impact. I'd watch episodes pre-diagnosis in which he dealt with patients whose symptoms sometimes resembled my own and wonder if its what I had. Interestingly enough when my consultant told me what they thought I had it was only because I'd watched House that I'd heard of sarcoidosis. Anyway I'm sure all of us can feel a little down and yesterday was a really flat day - a hard week at work, Saturday should have been welcome but it just wasn't.
Thank goodness that the evening restored my usual good mood. He played the following last night - this clip is one from a week or two ago but I hope it all gives you a lift like it did me. I did chuckle last night when someone shouted out in answer to a question 'Lupus'!!
Hahaha love it ! So glad you had a wonderful time, I was wondering how you got on. Lovely to get out and see someone you enjoy listening to - double result. xx
I'm not a fan of jazz at all. This was far more structured and bluesy. I just love watching amazing musicians do amazing things with their instruments. These lot were so talented - I gazed rather enviously at the trombonists lungs!
I think he is really talented in so many ways. I loved him in Blackadder.
It reminds me about Tony Robinson (Baldrick) whom I met when he was making a promotional video for the organisation where I worked. I spent the day with him and he was so intelligent, humorous and free with his time. He gave me autographs and little drawings for my step kids and told me really funny stories about filming Timeteam which had only just started. Especially about him and Phil drinking too much!
Growing up where I did and now do, I had a little bucket of what I thought was roman treasure when I was little. Mainly broken Victorian blue and white pottery - but I was convinced there was lots of roman pottery in there too!
